The Book of Shane, Mulop[1]


Mulop is an octopus Great Beast. He resides in Oceanus and is the main Great Beast of Against the Tide. In the second series, he is summoned as a spirit animal by a girl named Niri.

Overview[]

Mulop is a Great Beast that dwells in one of the Hundred Isles. He is a dark orange octopus with green eyes[2], and is very large, like every other Great Beast. Due to being the only Great Beast who lives underwater, he seems to be quite lonely, and frequently talks to himself. He does act in a positive, sometimes carefree manner, as shown in The Book of Shane's introduction. Though Mulop is quite isolated from them geographically, he and the other Beasts maintain a sibling-like relationship, as told by Jhi the Panda, and Mulop is sympathetic when he sees the Four Fallen as smaller versions of their once great selves.

In the Fall of the Beasts series, he is summoned by a girl named Niri. Their bond gives Niri the power of telepathy, which she uses to communicate with Kovo the Ape. Their bond is temporarily severed when Mulop is infected by a Wyrm parasite but he is eventually restored to Niri in the end.

Essix's Opinion[]

"Mulop, you see more than you understand."

When they arrive at the island that Mulop resides on, Rollan climbs into a large hole withArax the Ram's talisman, the Granite Ram, on. When all of them climb down, they find Mulop. The octopus gives them the Coral Octopus willingly and also gives the team a challenge. Conor accepts it and tries out the talisman, and soon after, he goes missing. After that, the Conquerors find them, and Meilin betrays them because she was revealed to have drunk the Bile. She takes Abeke with her to the Conquerors' side.

The Burning Tide[]

Abeke, Rollan, and Tasha are introduced to Niri and Mulop at the Redcloaks's base. Niri channels her bond with Mulop in order to communicate with Kovo, Meilin, and Conor, who are in Sadre. When Zerif's army of controlled Greencloaks attacks the base, Mulop is seen sabotaging one of the enemy ships from the water. He is infected with a Wyrm parasite, and his bond with Niri is severed, which causes her great distress.

At the end of the book, it is revealed that the infected Great Beasts were eventually able to re-bond with their summoners, including Mulop and Niri.
