[Salamander]

Muto watched carefully as the human stood to its full height. While it was looking the other way, they wriggled trying to unwedge themselves. They winced slightly as a sharp outcrop of the deck dug into their side. Sparing this human had been a horrible decision. If they had left the thing to drown, they would have been on their way home by now. Muto hissed in frustration, twisting and turning in the hull as they struggled to free themselves. The remaining cargo and what was left of the keel were quickly crushed under their weight. But much of their body and neck were still uncomfortably squeezed into the upper decks. The entirety of their girth filled the hall. If one were to come down the stairs now, they would see nothing but a wall of scaly flesh. Muto glared at the creature in front of them, awaiting their next move. Even in this vulnerable position, one human wasn’t too much of a threat. They were more concerned with the dozens of humans still scurrying about overhead. A few bangs and some faint rustling could be heard, undoubtably the sound of the lifeboats being prepared for departure.
