Pyrite Tannin
Menace of the Seven Seas (formerly), Monster Twelve.
A fat-bellied man wearing a brown three-cornered hat, a light and dark blue banded jersey, dark blue and black pinstriped trousers and yellow wellington boots. He also sports a long grey beard and has a false front tooth made of iron pyrite. Often depicted with a cup and teapot, his colours consist of the cup-and-crossed-spoons and Tannin is the subject of the tale ‘The Treasure Hunt of Pyrite Tannin’ by Nonny Warn.
Formerly a ‘Ruffian of the Sea’ with designs on the entire planets tea supply, Tannin is now a reformed character who seeks thirsty travellers on the ocean and invites them to share his brew, returning to land (and his visitors to their boats) only when he has exhausted his supplies of drinking water. He is usually to be found on the waves, and only lingers on land when depressed or dejected.
