Monster Files/Aquatic

Summary

All Aquatic creatures are capable of existing underwater indefinitely - and almost all of them are of the water affinity. The water is their domain, and without exception - their stats are raised by being within lakes and ocean. The vast majority of them are considered non-sentient.

Many of them were held at bay by the Undine before the coming of the Leviathans. Now, many of these species swarm their former cities - and there’s even talk of some of these creatures performing some kind of ritual-like behavior for the Leviathans themselves.

Types

Mermen

Mermen, also known as Sahuagin, are known to be an amphibious bipedal species that has a large range of sizes. From the more frogman like subspecies known for their water-border huts and madman-like battle-cries to the tall lamprey-like siren-song Naiads, to the Ogre Sahuagin.

These beings are armed with the many harpoon-like weapons they’ve found within the confines of the fallen Undine settlements, and capable of wielding magics such as cutting water blades. Their danger generally scales quickly with the size of their army and the size-class of the Mermen.

Cetus

Sea Monsters of enormous size, well beyond what one would expect from a mere Dire Monster. They come in enormous variation, some sea-bound, others who are capable of wandering the land. The danger level of most Cetus require at minimum a raid of some sorts, depending on the level of the sea monster. Many adventurers refer to these beings as Kaiju.
