Panel 1:
We're on an island in the Sea of Thieves. A Skeleton wearing a red bandana stands happily on the shoreline, whistling to themselves.
Skeleton: 🎶
Panel 2:
A Hermit (one of the new Ocean Crawler NPCs, a grey and coral-covered monstrosity with an enormous clam for a head) bursts out of the sand on the waterline, pushing past the Skeleton.
Hermit: Comin' through, Bub
Panel 3:
The skeleton barely has time to compose themselves before a Phantom (a ghostly green pirate carrying a cutlass) appears in the background, waving to them.
Phantom: Hullo. I like your island.
Panel 4:
A Siren (another new aquatic NPC) appears from the water, waving a greeting. The phantom looks on in bemusement while the Hermit pokes its head in from the right of the panel. The skeleton screams to the sky in annoyance.
Siren: Wotcha!
Hermit: Blocked yer terlet
Skeleton: IT IS GETTING DECIDEDLY CROWDED AROUND HERE
I dunno, you wait ages for a new enemy type and three show up at once...
