You were wandering around the rubbish mounds in the garbage wastes, looking for objects of interest such as pearls. suddenly, you feel the spear on your back detach. You whip around only to see a long, noodle-like lifeform staring at you with white eyes, holding your spear in its mouth.

"Hi there, mind if I take this? thanks!"

It retreated underground, before re-emerging, without the spear.
