>>48809406Folks don't seem to know what it's meant to be. It's based on all those stories of spooky sunken ships that have undead ghost crews. Like the flying dutchman.
It's the soul of a pirate who died at sea, or any ship captain who "went down with his ship". That's why it has a beard of seaweed, and one eye is missing to evoke an eye patch, it's a deceased pirate....good idea, maybe could have been executed a tad better.
Also the reason they forced Grass on it is because it extends and shrinks its anchor chain like Vine Whip when attacking with the anchor.
