Beast: Difference between revisions

 

In both versions, the main character is Whip Darling, a longtime Bermuda fisherman. Despite his occupation, Whip deeply loves the ocean and the creatures in it, and has no respect for those who refuse to fish sustainably. He is also a realist, and makes every effort to steer clear of the would-be squid hunters, correctly predicting that such an expedition can only end in failure. Eventually however, Whip's need for money causes him to be drawn into the expedition, alongside longtime friend Marcus, Canadian scientist Dr. Herbert Talley, and [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] Osborn Manning, leading to a final, climactic confrontation with the monster.

* [[Animal Wrongs Group]]: The "Save-The-Squid" crowd. As Whip puts it, "''Architeuthis dux'' is doing a fine job of saving itself."

* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: The squid is eventually revealed to be over a hundred feet long. This is ''not'' as [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|far-fetched as it sounds]].
