The Great Sael Adventure 1

Not too long after you've drifted out of sight of the port where the cactus lived, you encounter a truly horrible beast.

Literally out of the blue (blue water, that is), a creature flops up and onto the deck of the Mariposa. The crew gasp in horror at the truly hideous sight—it appears to be a regular eel with apparent ambitions to rise above its current station, judging by the fact that the eel is clad completely in plaid. It is wearing an intricate jacket and knickers, truly answering once and for all the question "If an eel wore pants, would it wear it like this or like this?" The answer is like this.

The eel opens its jaw, agape. It side-eyes the entire crew, one-by-one (it is difficult for a creature with eyes on the sides of its head to look any other way). It speaks:

"Howdy, y'all! My name's Jesse! I hope my intruding upon your vessel can be forgiven. Ya see, I'm an enchanted eel. And that absolves me of all my sins. I hope to make y'all an offer you wouldn't possibly want to refuse."
