Drowned Captain

An undead naval captain, still commanding his waterlogged crew from beyond the grave.

Tattered naval regalia, barnacled and rotting, still clings to this corpse with the stubbornness of rank. One eye socket holds a bioluminescent eel where the eye should be. A corroded cutlass hangs at its hip and a water-damaged cannon ball sits in its free hand. It shouts orders to its dead crew in a voice like water draining from a flooded hold - and somehow, they obey.

Priority target in any drowned encounter. Command Crew empowers all nearby Drowned Sailors, making the pack significantly more dangerous. Cannon Shot hits hard at range, punishing groups that try to kite. Fear immunity means it will never break and run, holding its ground to keep commanding. Kill the Captain first to remove the crew buff.
