The Brickleback

 was a ferocious green sea monster on The Sea Beast. It was shot by a spear by Captain Crow.

Throughout The Sea Beast
The Brickleback is the first sea monster to appear in the movie. When it attacked Jim Nicklebones' ship, The Inevitable came to its assistance, so the Brickleback attacked The Inevitable as well. During the attack, the Brickleback hauled Jacob Holland into the water and tried to eat him. However, Captain Crow leapt at the Brickleback, sinking a spear into his heart, causing the Brickleback to lose consciousness.
