This post may or may not make perfect sense until you read the previous one. After having some thoughts about the creatures and the story, This is what I have came up with.

The creature that is the main character needs to get to the other side of the island. As he lives on a wrecked ship, and knows that there is another wrecked pirate ship on the other side of the island. The creature is hoping that the item he is after will be on that ship. Believing that the item he needs to secure his home is on that ship, he sets out in search of that pirate ship.
