Il Terribile Pescecane
Il Terribile Pescecane is only mentioned, in the third episode: Lou describes a vision for Pinocchio of the village of Amanti on the horizon, with him and his father riding a tuna home after escaping a terrible dogfish NA E3·01:52:38.
In the thirteenth episode Brennan says a growl comes from Pinocchio's book on the wind, and Il Terribile Pescecane, the Terrible Dogfish, appears on the board as a giant mini NA E13·00:28:32 NA E13·00:28:57. Brennan tells Pinocchio he watches a monster from his story erupt into the world NA E13·00:29:12. It explodes up through the dais dock and immediately swallows the Mer-King NA E13·00:30:22.
On a History natural 20, Brennan tells Pinocchio he gains a new warlock subclass and a strand of destiny connecting him to the Dogfish, since no version of his story lacks something like it NA E13·00:32:20 NA E13·00:32:37. Brennan adds that it has destroyed countless ships, that in Pinocchio's version of the Neverafter it had asthma so smoke or fire could make it release what it swallowed, and that its small eyes are its weak points NA E13·00:32:37. Its armor class is 17 and it has a plus 10 to Constitution saving throws NA E13·01:17:22 NA E13·01:36:22.
In the fight Brennan says Cricket is killed instantly and Rosamund is swallowed down its gullet, and Ylfa jumps in after her NA E13·01:01:11 NA E13·01:01:17 NA E13·01:02:45. When Pib hurls a knife into its eye, Brennan says the Dogfish vanishes from Toy Island, having destroyed the funnel cake and cigar shop, and Lou has Pinocchio shed a single wooden tear as it swims away NA E13·01:50:25 NA E13·01:50:40 NA E13·01:50:53 NA E13·01:51:00. The Sea Witch congratulates the party on defeating it NA E13·01:53:49.
