Literally, monster pirates. The worst kind of monsters and pirates imaginable. Entities such as you probably assumed exist only in your worst nightmares, and which are so
evil and depraved that, in comparison to them, even Hitler seems like a peaceable and loving bloke. Fear teratopeirates like you have never feared anything else in life, because these monster pirates are coming for you and everyone/thing you
love.
{ Terato- (Gk. stem of teras, "Monster") + -peirates (Gk. "Brigand, pirate") }

Throughout the vast shadowy
world of thalassic traditions and folk stories there are no beings so terrible, no figures so dreaded and abhorred, yet dight with such fearful fascination, as the teratopeirates, which are themselves neither simple monsters nor pirates, but yet which partake the
dark natures, and possess the mysterious and terrible qualities of both.
