Boat Hound

The Boat Hound is an odd creature from Lumberjack Folklore. It has the “scientific” name Navisfur wymani. They search at night for boats that are not tied down and swallows them whole. They have bodies shaped like boats, four ears, mouths like alligators, and feet like frogs. Due to their unique ears, they can hear perfectly in front and behind themselves. During the day they rest at the bottom of lakes.
