HostileCaptain Sir Catfish
The Dancing Catfish Pirates are a ruthless pirate crew operating along the Pywel coastlines and attached to Vellua, a coastal fishing village south of Hernand. They are led by their captain, Sir Catfish, who is a product of human experiments conducted by the Fundamentalist Goblins. His crew revere him with near-fanatical devotion and roam the seas for slaughter and plunder, leaving wrecked ships and countless victims behind them.
Vellua has been overrun by the pirates during the main story, turning what was once a quiet fishing hub into the pirates' operational base. To fight Sir Catfish, players follow the Vellua Fishermen's Guild quest chain, starting with Beyond The Silent Waves.

Reputation and Rewards
Hostile factions sit below Neutral in the game's five-tier reputation ladder, which runs War, Hostile, Neutral, Friendly, and Alliance. Groups at War or Hostile attack on sight and impose reputation penalties for entering their territory, which means the usual way to interact with this faction is through combat, bounty hunting, and the clear-the-stronghold style of faction quest. Reputation can still shift if the player completes specific story objectives that strike at the faction's leadership or disrupt their operations.
