==Lake Nikkel Monster==
There is no doubting that the lakes water is filled with ancient scraps and flavourful fishes of monstrous proportions. But best known of all is still the giant beast
known as the Lake Nikkel-Beast. Some argue of course that
the monster in question is a yarn and legend. But they rarely live in the vicinity of the lake. Stories are talking about huge arms clad in armor and curving seaweed which shot up from the waves, and easily torn down the whole ship into the deep, in just a few moments. Remaining on the site is nothing but the splinters and bodies that float to the surface when the beast has eaten its fill.
The low number of onset suggests that there is a single beast. While it is not uncommon to hear that it happened long ago, indicating that there is a whole family of ravenous Beasts. It has become a ritual to push out a wooden boat each month to appease the beast. If it gets eaten, the following month will be safe.  

Many a keen to hear knowledgists are eager to find out what is truth and trivia on the island's most famous monster. There are even those who have done studies of the monster to their life's work. For their expeditions the knowledgists require capable crews - people who are willing to put their lives on the line for knowledgisms sake. And a reasonable pay, of course.

The Lake Nikkel Monster is actually a fully automated logging machine from before the disaster, which strayed into the Lake. The reason it goes to attack against sailing ships is simply due to it´s bored automatic brain longing for wood to cut, split and splinter. Its four telescopic arms can be stretched to more than fifteen meters in length. And they are certainly strong enough to first punch a hole in the hull and then pull down the boat to the bottom. Here there awaits a whole arsenal of saw blades laser cutters and hydraulic branch pliers - all impossible to escape with life intact for the poor sod stuck in one of the machines
ten shorter gripping arms. The beast's only weakness is that it needs all its four telescopic arms to sink a ship. Should one of these break, the big fellow will flee to repair the damage. But even if one falls into water the race is far from over. The shorter gripping arms are not particularly accurate in their maneuvers against moving targets and if you have gotten up to the surface, the Beast is going to ingore you.
