| creatures of the deep guide: The Monsters Know What They're Doing Keith Ammann, 2019-10-29 From the creator of the popular blog The Monsters Know What They’re Doing comes a compilation of villainous battle plans for Dungeon Masters. In the course of a Dungeons & Dragons game, a Dungeon Master has to make one decision after another in response to player behavior—and the better the players, the more unpredictable their behavior! It’s easy for even an experienced DM to get bogged down in on-the-spot decision-making or to let combat devolve into a boring slugfest, with enemies running directly at the player characters and biting, bashing, and slashing away. In The Monsters Know What They’re Doing, Keith Ammann lightens the DM’s burden by helping you understand your monsters’ abilities and develop battle plans before your fifth edition D&D game session begins. Just as soldiers don’t whip out their field manuals for the first time when they’re already under fire, a DM shouldn’t wait until the PCs have just encountered a dozen bullywugs to figure out how they advance, fight, and retreat. Easy to read and apply, The Monsters Know What They're Doing is essential reading for every DM. |

| creatures of the deep guide: The Unnatural History of the Sea Callum Roberts, 2009-01-05 Humanity can make short work of the oceans’ creatures. In 1741, hungry explorers discovered herds of Steller’s sea cow in the Bering Strait, and in less than thirty years, the amiable beast had been harpooned into extinction. It’s a classic story, but a key fact is often omitted. Bering Island was the last redoubt of a species that had been decimated by hunting and habitat loss years before the explorers set sail. As Callum M. Roberts reveals in The Unnatural History of the Sea, the oceans’ bounty didn’t disappear overnight. While today’s fishing industry is ruthlessly efficient, intense exploitation began not in the modern era, or even with the dawn of industrialization, but in the eleventh century in medieval Europe. Roberts explores this long and colorful history of commercial fishing, taking readers around the world and through the centuries to witness the transformation of the seas. Drawing on firsthand accounts of early explorers, pirates, merchants, fishers, and travelers, the book recreates the oceans of the past: waters teeming with whales, sea lions, sea otters, turtles, and giant fish. The abundance of marine life described by fifteenth century seafarers is almost unimaginable today, but Roberts both brings it alive and artfully traces its depletion. Collapsing fisheries, he shows, are simply the latest chapter in a long history of unfettered commercialization of the seas. The story does not end with an empty ocean. Instead, Roberts describes how we might restore the splendor and prosperity of the seas through smarter management of our resources and some simple restraint. From the coasts of Florida to New Zealand, marine reserves have fostered spectacular recovery of plants and animals to levels not seen in a century. They prove that history need not repeat itself: we can leave the oceans richer than we found them. |

Water takes up 70 percent of Earth’s surface, with countless lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, seas and oceans covering much of the land, but what lurks beneath the water? For centuries, sightings have been made of huge, marauding monsters swimming the world’s oceans and lakes. They include Scotland’s legendary Loch Ness Monster; the United States’ equivalent, Champ, of Lake Champlain; and Canada’s long-necked denizen of the deep known as Ogopogo. These, and many more, famous monsters of the world below us also include giant squid, massive octopi, and even the fabled Kraken and the fabled mermaids of millennia long-gone.

Master storyteller, established author, and respected expert on the unexplained and paranormal Nick Redfern sifts through the historical record, first-person accounts, and unearthed government files on lake monsters and sea serpents to tell of encounters with a variety of beasts, including ... Cheever Felch’s 19th-century account of the massive Gloucester, New England, Sea Serpent The brontosaurus-like Mokele-Mbembe of the Congo The supernatural Bunyip, a monster that lurks within the creeks, lagoons, and swamps of Australia that has been known to the Aboriginal people for centuries The disputed claims of Teddy May, former Commissioner of Sewers in New York, of alligators roaming the sewers of the city The monster-sized fish in the River Nene, in the Fens, Cambridgeshire, England Modern mutants genetically altered by pollution And many more!

| creatures of the deep guide: Undrowned Alexis Pauline Gumbs, 2020-11-17 Undrowned is a book-length meditation for social movements and our whole species based on the subversive and transformative guidance of marine mammals. Our aquatic cousins are queer, fierce, protective of each other, complex, shaped by conflict, and struggling to survive the extractive and militarized conditions our species has imposed on the ocean. Gumbs employs a brilliant mix of poetic sensibility and naturalist observation to show what they might teach us, producing not a specific agenda but an unfolding space for wondering and questioning. From the relationship between the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale and Gumbs’s Shinnecock and enslaved ancestors to the ways echolocation changes our understandings of “vision” and visionary action, this is a masterful use of metaphor and natural models in the service of social justice. |

| creatures of the deep guide: Sea Monsters Joseph Nigg, 2014-01-03 The mythic creature expert and author of Phoenix takes readers through a bestiary of sea monsters featured on the famous 16th century map Carta Marina. In the sixteenth century, sea serpents, giant man-eating lobsters, and other monsters were thought to swim the waters of Norther Europe, threatening seafarers who ventured too far from shore. Thankfully, Scandinavian mariners had Olaus Magnus, who in 1539 charted these fantastic marine animals in his influential map of the Nordic countries, the Carta Marina. In Sea Monsters, mythologist Joseph Nigg brings readers face-to-face with these creatures and other magnificent components of Magnus’s map. Nearly two meters wide in total, the map’s nine wood-block panels comprise the largest and first realistic portrayal of the region. But in addition to its important geographic significance, Magnus’s map goes beyond cartography to scenes both domestic and mystic. Close to shore, Magnus shows humans interacting with common sea life—boats struggling to stay afloat, merchants trading, children swimming, and fisherman pulling lines. But from the offshore deeps rise some of the most terrifying sea creatures imaginable—like sea swine, whales as large as islands, and the Kraken. In this book, Nigg draws on Magnus’s own text to further describe and illuminate these inventive scenes and to flesh out the stories of the monsters. Sea Monsters is a stunning tour of a world that still holds many secrets for us land dwellers, who will forever be fascinated by reports of giant squid and the real-life creatures of the deep that have proven to be as bizarre and otherworldly as we have imagined for centuries. It is a gorgeous guide for enthusiasts of maps, monsters, and the mythic. “[A] beautiful new exploration of the Carta Marina.”—Wired |

| creatures of the deep guide: The Brave Pirate Captain and the Sea Monsters AQEEL AHMED, 2023-09-17 The Brave Pirate Captain and the Sea Monsters Here's a brief summary of the story: The exciting story of Captain Oliver and his loyal crew on the beautiful ship Sapphire Serpent takes us to a world where bravery and adaptability are highly valued. Pirates in the past, Captain Oliver and his gang went through a big change that changed how they felt about the water and how the story of piracy is told. At first, their trip is exciting because they don't know what to expect and they might find buried riches. They are brave pirates who sail the open sea without fear because they want to find treasure and new adventures. But the most important part of their trip is when they find a secret island where dangerous sea animals live. Even though his friends are afraid and warn him not to, Captain Oliver takes his crew with full confidence to the Island of the Sea Monsters. They go into the unknown, where strange noises and a foggy beach make them scared. But they keep going because they believe in his guidance. With swords and guns drawn, they move toward the green but spooky island. The focus of their research is an old, overgrown temple that is guarded by stone statues that look like aquatic life. Because Captain Oliver is determined to figure out the island's secrets, they try to solve more of its puzzles. Inside the temple, they find an amazing treasure room full of gold coins, rare gems, and other beautiful things. Their success is short-lived, though, because giant sea monsters that look like snakes come out of the statues and attack them. Over the course of several hours, the crew's patience is tried, but Captain Oliver's unwavering spirit keeps them going. As the fight goes on, Captain Oliver comes up with a daring plan. He tells his crew to lead the sea monsters back into the water. He jumps onto one of the creatures and puts a huge knife through its shining eye, which makes the other one run away. When the crew finds out that Captain Oliver and the sea monsters have run away to the ocean's depths, it takes away from their moment of victory. When they get back to the Sapphire Serpent, they are sad and have changed a lot. They understand that their captain and the money are gone, but that their newfound respect for the secrets of the water is a much better prize. The sea splitting to show Captain Oliver's return is a sign that their story will end in a miraculous way. His knowledge and the change in the team lead to a new plan to protect the ocean and its animals. They go from being thieves to being brave protectors and defenders of the world under the sea. They go all over the world to save marine animals, protect coral reefs, and promote marine protection. They have become well-known for their brave defense of the water, which has inspired people and groups all over the world to do the same. Since Captain Oliver and his crew changed the way people think about pirates for good, the world has never been the same. Plundering and being greedy are replaced by brave duty and working together, which reminds people of how important it is to protect and care for the environment. So, their story lives on as a story of daring, bravery, and bold guardianship. It is a lesson that we all have the power to change and the duty to protect the treasures that lie beneath the water. This is how the story starts: A brave pirate captain named Captain Oliver used to live where the sea and the sky meet. Captain Oliver was known all over the world for his constant love of excitement and lack of fear. As he crossed the vast ocean with his loyal crew on the beautiful ship Sapphire Serpent, his heart was full of the excitement of the unknown, and their eyes sparkled with the promise of secret wealth. The pirate Captain Oliver was not like the others. He went to the sea not only because he wanted to steal and get rich, but also because he was very interested in the world and wanted to learn more about it. His team worked hard because he was interested in how big the ocean was and how many things could happen there. They were more than just sea pirates. They were also explorers, dreamers, and people who thought the world beyond the sky was magical. The tall Sapphire Serpent was a sight to see, with its dark blue sails and black hull. It is said that it was made by skilled shipwrights who put their hearts and souls into every plank and nail. Its figurehead was a beautifully carved sapphire snake that seemed to come to life at night and watch over the crew as they went on dangerous journeys. This ship was more than just a way for them to get around. It was also their home and a place of safety in the middle of the vast seas. The crew of Captain Oliver was as different as the sea. People from all walks of life, from crusty old sailors to wide-eyed kids, were attracted to their brave leader's charisma. Everyone has a unique story to tell, made up of hopes, regrets, and dreams from their past. They became close because they all liked to try new things and cared about each other. Their travels took them to some of the world's most remote places, where not many people had gone before. They saw old secrets and fought through fierce storms that put their strength to the test. Captain Oliver was not only good at leading his team, but he was also a good teacher. He taught them how to navigate and the value of trust and friendship. He thinks that the real treasures are not gold or jewelry, but the bonds that people make with each other on their trip. One bad day, as the Sapphire Serpent sailed through blue seas, they found an old map that had been lost for a long time. The map was supposed to lead to the Isle of Eternal Dreams, a place that sailors whispered about. It was said to hold the keys to wealth, knowledge, and living forever. Captain Oliver and his team decided to follow the mysterious symbols on the map. Their hearts were racing, and they were excited. It took them by islands no one had ever seen before, through dangerous rivers, and right into the middle of the angry sea. They ran into problems that put their faith to the test in a way that had never happened before. Despite everything, they kept going because they trusted each other and had a strong will. After months of hard journey, they finally reached the mythical Isle of Eternal Dreams. The island was a green paradise with emerald woods, waterfalls, and strange animals they had never seen before. Following the directions on the map, they went deep into the island's center and found a secret room with old books, sparkling gems, and a sparkling fountain. Captain Oliver was humbled by how big of a find they had made. He understood that the real treasure was not the money in front of him, but the knowledge they had gained, the experiences they had shared, and the strong bond that held his crew together. He knew that the most valuable things in life were the desire to learn and to try new things. As they sailed away from the island, their sails were full, and their spirits were high. They knew that there were many more places to discover and that their journey was not over. Captain Oliver and his team kept exploring the vast ocean, never giving up and always looking for new things to see. They understood that where the sea and the sky met, the most important things were the ones you carried in your heart, not the ones you could hold in your hands. They kept sailing, always looking to the horizon for their next big experience. There are stories and legends about Captain Oliver and his loyal crew that are told all over the seven seas. People from far away told stories about the brave pirate captain who went out to find both worldly and spiritual riches. The Sapphire Serpent came to stand for bravery, optimism, and the understanding that life's greatest treasures are not always things. Along the way, they met sailors, traders, and pirates from all over the world. Captain Oliver was true to his nature and tried to avoid bloodshed whenever he could. He thought that people could get along better on the high seas if they understood each other and worked together. Because he was charming and his team was seen as honest explorers, they often made friends in strange places. Over time, the crew of the Sapphire Serpent became known for their acts of kindness and bravery. They would help poor coastal towns, save sailors who had been lost, and share their wealth with those who had less. Because Captain Oliver was a caring and understanding leader, every member of his team learned how to be caring and understanding. As word spread about how popular they were, kings and queens asked Captain Oliver to share his knowledge and experience at their courts. He became a trusted advisor to kings and a supporter of keeping peace around the world. His impact went far beyond the coast, and he used it to bring people together and help them understand each other. |

| creatures of the deep guide: Sex, Drugs, and Sea Slime Ellen Prager, 2011-10 When viewed from a quiet beach, the ocean can seem calm, even serene. But hidden beneath the sea's waves are a staggering variety of active creatures, engaged in the never-ending struggles of life--to reproduce, to eat, and to avoid being eaten. Marine scientist Ellen Prager takes us deep into the sea to introduce a cast of fascinating and bizarre creatures. From the tiny arrow worms whose voracious ways may lead to death by overeating, to the lobsters that battle rivals or seduce mates with their urine, Prager reveals the ways they interact as predators, prey, or potential mates. And while these animals make for some jaw-dropping stories--there's far more to Prager's account than entertaining anecdotes: again and again, she illustrates the crucial connections between life in the ocean and humankind, in everything from our food supply to our economy, and in drug discovery, biomedical research, and popular culture.--From publisher description. |
