Underground Dwelling Denizens of the Deep! In your comment please stat out and describe a monster that may normally be aquatic but could be found in an underground dungeon environ.
Land Sea Cucumber, Giant. Alligator-sized nuisance, HD 3, AC 6, MV 6, bite d6, when down to 4 or fewer HP shoots part of its guts out and retreats (10' range, save or blinded & entangled).
Placeholder - Subterranean Urchin HD: 1-4hp, AC: 5 Spines cover body. Urchins typically hang from ceiling and drop, inflicting 1-4 Hp of damage (d4 spines, 1 hp each). Spines inflict poison. Saving vs poison results in the target being Slowed for 1d6 turns. Victims which fail save are paralyzed for 1d6 turns.
Rich Franks Placeholder - Cuttlefish of the Underworld HD: 3+1 AC: 4 These 2-3 foot long, levitating cuttlefish are found in packs of 5-12. When they find prey, their skin begins to rapidly change color. As a group, they are able to effect spells such as Color Spray, Prismatic Sphere, etc... as a caster of a level equal to the number in their pack.
Electric "Snakes" — 1 HD, Mv 120, AC 7, 1 Attack (bite for 1-2 damage or electrical discharge 1-8 damage [alternate rounds] w/Spell Save for half), half damage from blunt weapons as their intense slime deflects blows, highly sensitive to sound. AL N, Treasure Type K.
Great work, all. I was knocked out with a fever of 101-102 for two days, so wasn't able to participate in this. I don't have time now, but my placeholder will be for WELLWORM. This is one of my one-hit-point monsters, but I will expand it to a full entry. After all, they do grow and begin to leave the water.
Giant Mantis Shrimp HD 1 D10, AC:2 These solitary predators live in burrows. They are one of the fastest creatures on earth so they have 5 attacks per round. Their claw attacks as a +2 sword. They see into the ultra violet so they may see invisible. They are not intelligent and may be distracted by shiny objects.
Chris HolmesIf I have my info correct this pic you drew for A&E a long time ago. Do you remember about how old you were or what the process was for drawing it or the environment/where you were at the time? Thanks!
Wow, a long time ago, I think I was 17. The adventure that Dad described we all agreed was a high point in Dad's game. The idea of fighting to the end with a silver arrow was very heroic I thought. I was obsessed with pen and ink texture at the time and for many years after.
