Tales of Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal is the first installment in the Tales of Monkey Island series by Telltale Games and LucasArts.
Launch of the Screaming Narwhal begins with Guybrush Threepwood following his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck, who has kidnapped his wife, Governor Elaine Marley. After seeking advice from his old friend the Voodoo Lady, Guybrush pursues LeChuck with the recipe for the Cursed Cutlass Kaflu, which potentially can finish LeChuck once and for all. However, Guybrush accidentally drops the last ingredient, and is forced to improvise. When he finally stabs LeChuck, the flawed cutlass instead transforms LeChuck into a human and infects Guybrush's hand with the "Pox of LeChuck", causing the hand to act on its own. A resulting explosion on the ship hurls Guybrush into the ocean and he later washes up on Flotsam Island.
