Guardian Hammerhead (animal)
Guardian hammerheads are large sharks that live throughout the crystalline reefs of the Rocks of Guillate. These hammerheads are well known for their territorial nature and aggressiveness when encountered. Much of the reefs are protected by these sharks, making mining the crystals a dangerous task. Their unique, triangular heads have a cap on the front made of hard bone and fragments of crystals that the hammerheads will use to ram into the bottom of ships in an attempt to smash it into pieces. If it was not for their small territories just around the reefs, many sailors believe the guardians would make sea travel almost impossible throughout the isles.
While we are still some distance from the nearest peaks of crystal that jut out from the ocean waves, I can see the large fin of our prey just the same. The guardian hammerhead floats in the water between us and the crystals, ready to strike if we get too close. Luckily we have brought several rope-tied harpoons just for this, in hopes to pierce the shark from a distance before it's able to smash into our boat.
As we grow closer and closer, the hammerheads movement becomes erratic. We'll need to attack soon before it gets too aggressive, otherwise it might try to drown us.
