Murtlap

The Murtlap is a marine beast with a growth on its back resembling a sea anemone, found on the coastal areas of Britain.

Nature
The favoured prey of the Murtlap are crustaceans, though they will also go for the feet of any human foolish enough to step on them.

Uses
The growth on the Murtlap's back may be pickled and eaten to improve one's resistance to jinxes, although eating an excess of pickled murtlap may cause one to grow unsightly purple ear hair. Murtlap Essence is a home remedy for cuts and abrasions.
