Its mouth is always open, and from its throat can be heard a gross gagging, as if the creature swallowed salt water.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td style='width: 47px'></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td><img src="https://www.enworld.org/file:///C:/Users/penan/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></td></tr></table>Origin – Drowned VictimsBloaters are poor souls that drowned. Many a sailor has spotted through the eyeglass their long-lost crewmember that drowned rounding Cape Wave. The bloated body, sometimes with shark bites taken out of it, walking along the beach. Some captains and crews insist the body does not come back if the ship turns around and circles the area, tossing coins in to let them know they are missed, and their family will be taken care of.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td style='width: 51px'></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td><img src="https://www.enworld.org/file:///C:/Users/penan/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></td></tr></table>Habitat – Islands and ShorelinesBe it river, lake or sea, bloaters never are far from water. Many times, they can even be found just beneath the water, waiting patiently for a victim. For that is what they need, flesh. It is the only reprieve their open mouths have from the drowning feeling that forever is forced upon their minds; biting into living flesh allows them to breathe once again, even if but for a short while. It is surprising to many that bloaters tend to congregate together, drawn by the Dead Realm or currents, no one really knows. But where there is one bloater, there are often many in hiding.I had a discussion about ow this image would look. Here is what it came up with: [ATTACH=full]406358[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
