The Astral Sea's greatest wonder is the strange creatures native to it. A glob of it comes alive in your hand, sprouting a pair of eyes as if mimicking your appearance, before it falls asleep in your hands.

They go to make a forty-five-degree turn in one direction, then quickly jostle the other direction before ultimately deciding to continue straight. You're not tailing this ship you've been stuck behind, although whoever's piloting it is likely starting to think otherwise.
