(Sealoving) Raging Sea Serpent

Lore
The fleet's cannonfire disappeared harmlessly into the serpent's aqueous body. The raging waves capsized every last ship, devouring them whole and smashing them to pieces. In the blink of an eye, the entire fleet was sent to a watery grave. The few surviving soldiers wailed in despair, "Fighting this thing is as futile as fighting Nature itself!"
