If by "hideous" you mean "grotesque and fearsome," then aye!

[He's going to choose to take that as a compliment, even though it probably isn't meant to be one. One day Ragna will learn to talk about things without insulting them, surely.]

I try to keep a couple about on the ship with enough materials to build one or two ashore if we land, but they're really meant to scare off the weak-hearted and assure that only the boldest of opponents make it to the truly fearsome stuff. And then to myself, of course, if they manage to survive all that.

[It's no fun if he doesn't get to gloat, after all.]
