The story of Ghangler

"With its shining lure, it illuminates the darkness. The wandering Pals drawn in by the light stand no chance of escape once spotted by Ghangler. No matter how far, it will keep guiding them until they get home safe and sound."

Its lure is the whole story: a light in the dark that nothing drawn to it escapes. On your team it's a water-traversal mount that also makes night fishing far less tedious.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

Day 1. Saw the lure before the fish — a pale glow off the shipwreck at night.

Day 4. Rides across water fast; night fishing with it beside me is twice as quick.

Day 7. Best waterer on the farm. Creepy up close, useful everywhere.
