Here's a reference for my man named Kruk! He's a Motos (a scrapped enemy from SM64) that ventured off to go do something with his life... which ended up becoming a pirate! Though, the lack of a voice box lead to him having to jerryrig one, which gave him a voice akin to Microsoft Sam. Although capable of throwing cannonballs at breakneck speeds, he's quite the gentle giant standing at 8'10".
