Hadras



"Your bravery is wasted. I shall pry the chest from your cold&hellip; dead&hellip; hands."

- Hadras to James Norrington

Hadras served as a crewmember aboard the Flying Dutchman under the command of Davy Jones. As with other members of the crew, Hadras had, over time, taken on aspects of the sea flora and fauna the crew resided amongst. He spoke Cantonese, though had a Chinese accent, possibly indicating his place of birth.

Hadras's body was covered with coral and barnacles, though most notably was the fact that his head was ensconsed within a conch shell. More, his head had in fact transformed and merged into a hermit crab that could move independently of his body, propelled by a number of small, crab-like legs.

During the fight for the Dead Man's Chest on Isla Cruces, Hadras's head became detatched from its body thanks to a well-aimed coconut thrown by Jack Sparrow. The head was forced to shout directions as Hadras's body blundered about blindly trying to relocate it. He managed to return his head to its proper place atop his neck, though it was once more knocked from his body when James Norrington gave up the Dead Man's Chest to Davy Jones's crew after Hadras confronted the former Commodore. Hadras's body raced with its fellow crewmen back to the Flying Dutchman, with his disembodied head scuttling after, desperately trying to catch up.
