The Mimic Bell: Chimebite

My Fanfic:

Fanfic for "Pangorio"

Slobber and Teeth is a grotesque seafaring nightmare of living ships, each one stitched together from mimic flesh, bone, and metal. They sail not only on water but on hunger, guided by captains who treat monsters as crew.

The Slobbernaught is one of the fleet’s most feared vessels. It is massive and jaw-heavy, armored in chitinous plates and lined with snapping mouths. The ship lumbers forward like a predator at sea, carrying within it a host of mimics great and small, from the colossal figurehead to the tiny bell known as Chimebite.

Lets Meet Chimebite:

The bell-mimic of the Slobbernaught is known to the crew as Chimebite. Barely larger than a ship’s helm wheel, this small creature disguises itself as a simple bronze bell until it chooses to ring. Its bite is not of fang or claw, but of sound, vibrations that gnaw at nerves and marrow alike.

Sailors often call Chimebite the smallest beast on board, yet few laugh when its eerie toll claws through their dreams. Some treat it like a mascot, polishing its bronze shell or feeding it scraps of bone. Others refuse to go near it at all.

When the Slobbernaught charges, Chimebite’s ring is the first and last sound the enemy hears.
