That's right. Shipbreaker, I call her. A wily old beast. I've put all the Harbormen on the lookout for her.Old Longfellow

Shipbreaker is a unique legendary fog crawler on the Island in 2287.

Background[]

Shipbreaker is a unique fog crawler who has haunted Mount Desert Island for decades. The time spent in the Fog has apparently mutated her so that she gives off a unique radio signature that interferes with regular radio equipment. Old Longfellow has spent a lifetime tracking the beast and would like to take his revenge on her - for all the deaths she has caused and friends she took from him. Unlike other fog crawlers, Shipbreaker is also unusually vicious and destructive, killing for sport, rather than out of necessity. Taking her out is as much personal as it is a public service to the people of Far Harbor.

The name was bestowed on her by Old Longfellow, who started the hunt for Shipbreaker a few years back when wrecked boats and dead people started washing up on the shores. The reports eventually gave him a clear picture and he dedicated himself to the hunt ever since.

Biology[]

This section is transcluded from Fog crawler. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

Fog crawlers are large, mutated crustaceans, that live in the deep Fog for which they are named, and are seldom encountered outside of the deadly mist.[Non-game 1][1] Fog crawlers are known to make deep, booming vocalizations as an indicator of their presence. They are also among the strongest and most tenacious foes encountered in their respective areas, combining excellent protection with a generous health pool and the ability to attack at range.

Gameplay attributes[]

Shipbreaker only appears during the quest Shipbreaker and has 4,000 points of physical damage resistance. Being an enraged fog crawler, Shipbreaker boasts a minimum of 2,200 HP as well. Upon completion of the quest, Old Longfellow will award the player character with Skipper's Last Stand, a unique variant of the harpoon gun.

  1. Creatures: Fog Crawler: "Fog crawlers are aptly named. They inhabit coastal regions and islands, predominantly with low cloud and fog banks that they use to hunt. Their crawling, shambling gait when not enraged lets them move through the surf or into woods with ease, but swiftly accelerate to pounce on prey and enemies. Woe betide the unwary hunter who thinks they are safe because of the Fog Crawler’s apparent grazing; their explosive bouts of speed will put them in danger before they have time to realise the threat.
    These monsters tend to be solitary beasts, stalking isolated but verdant regions as apex predators. Even the mighty Deathclaw keeps its distance. The Fog Crawler’s speed and dexterity mean it is more than a match for anything in its path, leaping and slashing at what will soon become its next meal…"
