“He seems open to trading.”

–Wilson

The Yaarctopus can be found in one of the Coral Reefs that generally spawn in an Ocean (Shallow) biome. He is lying on a Coral Rock, wearing an eyepatch and a small pirate hat as well as a wooden "leg" on one of his tentacles. He is immune to any damage and cannot be attacked. He is the Shipwrecked equivalent to the Pig King.

During the day, the player may trade any Fishes, Trinkets, and certain Fish Crock Pot recipes with the Yarrctopus in exchange for an Octopus Chest. After handing in one Item, the Yaarctopus will fall asleep for the rest of the remaining day and cannot be traded again until he wakes up. The Yaarctopus will shake its head when the player attempts to trade items other than fish or trinkets.

Exchange Rates

For each Fish given the chest will contain always one Dubloon and one piece of Seaweed (38.46%), Seashell (23.08%) or Coral (23.08%), there is also rare chance for Blubber (7.69%) or Shark Fin (7.69%) instead.

For each Trinket the chest will only contain a certain number of Dubloons. Trinket values are as follows:

Item	Dubloon Value
	×2
	×4
	×5
	×6
	×10
	×11
	×12

In addition to one Dubloon he will also give Boat related items when certain Crock Pot food is given:

Bugs

• As terrain generation is not final as of now, it may happen that a Coral spawns right on top of the Yaarctopus. This doesn't hinder the player to turn in fish but can mess around with the Octopus Chest spawning.
