Karamthulhu are a squid-like species that are sometimes obtained while fishing for slugs during the Rum Deal quest. They are also dropped by zombie pirates and zombie swabs on Braindeath Island.
Karamthulhus can be used during Rum Deal in addition to sluglings to make unsanitary swill. After the quest, any Karamthulhus remaining in the inventory will disappear, and an attempt to fish for them triggers the response, "You have no need to do that any more." Players will still be able to obtain a Karamthulhu as a drop from the aforementioned zombie pirates and swabs after having completed the quest.

Trivia
- Karamthulhu is a portmanteau of karambwan and Cthulhu, a fictional squid god and character in many of H. P. Lovecraft's stories. Because of this, there are many ways to pronounce the "...thulhu" of Karamthulhu's name, such as (KLOO-loo). H.P. Lovecraft himself wrote many of the pronunciations, which seemed to vary from story to story. It wasn't until after his death that the pronunciation (K-THOO-loo) was popularised.
- If you use this item on Captain Braindeath, he says, "Gah! Get that slimy thing away from me!"
