-Pirate Queen's Chest - once buried binds the spirits of slain crew to guard it as incorporeal undead, warded against divination so can only be found by map New Familiars (via Improved Familiar feat) Prismatic Parrot-3HD magical beast, ranks in Bluff/Diplomacy and Perform, tongues ability, colour spray every 1d4 rounds by spreading its wings.

Most Pirate ships are built pretty small compared to combat vessels, they're designed to out-gun merchant ships, but also be able to out-run the larger vessels.
