He was attacked by a hammerhead shark and in his last moments, wrote his "will" in the sand for his son John to take care of his wife and three daughters. Unfortunately, John's wife Fanny has other plans for them.

Answer: She was a native tribewoman taken captive by John.

Sir John also took her mother captive, whom everyone called "Mrs. Jennings." Sir John then killed the rest of their tribemates. Lady Middleton is also Sir John's concubine and the mother of their young son.

Monsieur Pierre is Willoughby's constant companion and also his "valet." He (the orangutan) was later stabbed to death by a pirate.

5. Elinor Dashwood and Lucy Steele manage to encounter and survive an attack by what infamous sea creature?

Answer: The Devonshire fang-beast

This lizard-like monster bore two heads and nearly killed Lucy and Elinor.

Answer: They were attacked by lobsters.

These lobsters were about the size of an average cow and were originally trained to be submissive and harmless to humans. Unfortunately, during a SeaWorld-type aquatic show, the lobsters killed their trainer and then attacked the audience.

Answer: A whale breaks the glass encasing the entire community.

With the help of a school of barracuda, a whale breaks the glass of the domed aqua-city, thus killing several people as water drowns them. Elinor, Marianne, and their friends manage to escape.

8. What was the fate of Robert Ferrars after he married Lucy Steele?

Answer: Lucy killed him and ate his bone marrow.

Sir John revealed Lucy Steele to be a "sea-witch," a creature that takes human form and feeds off of human bone marrow. A sea-witch will have a five point symbol on her body to indicate her status as a sea-witch. Elinor found this out after the two of them cleaned up after a sea monster attack.

9. What disease did Marianne contract after being bitten by mosquitoes?

Answer: Malaria

She also developed yellow fever. Her sicknesses were made worse by the stress of losing her "beloved" Willoughby.

10. What happened to Margaret, the youngest Dashwood sister?

Answer: She became a member of an island tribe.

She became a member of the tribe after finding them on one of her many midnight walks. She then lost her hair, grew fangs, and performed chants. The tribe predicts that a huge monster (i.e. a leviathan) will come out from hiding. Apparently, the island that the Dashwood sisters were living on was actually a gigantic sea beast. Margaret eventually returned to normal after she and her family were rescued from the monster.
