Shrouded Ghost

The Shrouded Ghost is a type of Megalodon, an enemy that spawns at open sea near player ships. Their spawn chance is extremely rare compared to other Megalodons.

They are visually distinguishable from other Megalodons by their pale, pearl-gray body, pale pink dorsal fin and bright peach-pink pupil-less eyes. In the dark, the dorsal fin glows the same bright peach-pink as the eyes.

The pale body colour of the Shrouded Ghost when seen at night resembles a gray-purple, which may lead to being mistakenly identified as the Crested Queen or Shadowmaw (or vice versa).

Rewards

Upon defeat, a Megalodon of any type will leave behind a variety of treasure where they died. Players sailing as a Trading Company Emissary will also earn a notable amount of Emissary Grade Reputation (with the exception of Reaper's Bones Emissaries).

All emergent Megalodons have the same treasure pool:

• 4-6 pieces of Megalodon meat
• 5-12 random Treasure items
  • Regular, Shipwrecked, Ashen, and Cursed Treasure Chests
  • Skeleton Captain’s Chests
  • Stronghold Chests
