Creature · The sardine-tin sea
The Opener
“Round and round. Round and round.” Nobody opens the tin but it.

The first boss in Always On, sitting next to the oil drum at the far end of the sea. It snips and clacks, and when it winds its key round, slowly, it is about to peel: that is what Defend is for. Beaten, it “unwinds and lies flat. It looks relieved.”
