Antlers

She’s the figurehead of a ship named Redeer, the last ship of an old shipwright at First Dock. Made from a special kind of wood that conducts water (much like metal and electricity), she is able curve and influence neap tides. She’s like the klabautermann in that she’s an benevolent assistant in many cases. Her loyalty, though, lies with the ship and not with the sailors aboard it. In a conflict of interest, these eerie, green, storms rock the ship in an attempt to throw its men overboard.

Inspired by a window display at a store called "Fashion Crimes".
