“I don’t know why we keep the blasted stuff all the way up there in the first place, me bein’ so squat and all, but Cap’n Hale runs a tight ship,” she complained. She continued on to say that his ship is so tight, she was lucky he was willing to bring on another crew member to help her out: her new Petpet, a mutant Dragoyle named Scurvy.

“Ain’t she the cutest?” Cassale mused as Scurvy fluttered clumsily around her. “Apparently she was abandoned by her old owner ‘cause she flies funny and she be missin’ an eye, but I don’t see how you couldn’t love a little beast like her. Anyway, Cap’n Bluebeard took her in before entrustin’ her to me, and yeah, I do means that Bluebeard. I won’t say nothin’ else about her so as not to ruin any reputations, but she really was a blessin’ out at sea, comin’ along when she did.”

From how Cassale tells it, Bluebeard happened upon their ship, the Crooked Crokabek, shortly after she was injured. Captain Garven Hale informed the dreaded pirate of Cassale’s injury, and Bluebeard offered her condolences. She then proceeded to shove right past Hale and barge into Cassale’s quarters. After a long conversation that Cassale refuses to disclose the details of, Bluebeard “very politely” requested that Team Krawk Island take on a new crew member to help the Moehog reach those high places (and help keep her tendency to injure herself in check).

It’s not just Cassale that Scruvy helps. According to Zayle Sufhaux, she’s also a fair hand at loading the ship’s cannons, and Feldon “Dinksy” Collibridge has sung the little Petpet’s praises for helping her spot oncoming ships – and Yooyuballs! “She’s become an asset during training,” said Garven Hale, and he even continued on to say that he’s noticed tangible improvement in the entire team’s abilities and morale ever since adding Cassale’s new friend to their roster.
