Notes: So there's this on the wall in the Scumm Bar in Escape from Monkey Island:

It's not there in The Secret of Monkey Island, so clearly its origin is somewhere in between that and Escape. And one morning I literally woke up with a verse of a ballad about this creature in my head. Pirates are not a very well-mannered and attentive audience, by the way. (The specific characters given some interjecting lines in this aren't really important, so I didn't tag for them; it was mostly a gag from when I posted this to a Monkey Island Discord server using emotes, and I decided to keep the attributions.)
