Morgan Penguin

A pseudonym for Death generally used by sailors, adventurers, conquistadors, and the like; the name references an unconventional manifestation of Death some fools claim to have encountered in brief encounters with the afterlife.

Death appears to these lucky fools as a black and white aquatic bird. The manifestation (or delusion) squawks repeatedly at the deceased until they make physical contact, establishing a psychic link in which a deep, rich, and soothing voice gives the deceased a challenge or decision. Accounts vary wildly, with no solid consensus regarding Morgan Penguin's adornments and number of eyes, the nature of this challenge, or where exactly this is happening.
