These little non-sentient monstrosities swarm in the water wherever they encounter food or blood. As they don’t speak, they have been named “the brotherhood” by those other factions that have encountered them.Īlso swimming the waters of this area are the true children of the mastermind beast. From this location it has sent its minions out to collect materials and based on the genetic materials collected (from an unlucky adventurer) has birthed a collection of nearly identical human-seeming creatures under its control. In The Flooded Tunnels map of the Mega-Delve there is a description given of a horrible monster, its strange bald servants, plus a whole mess of its toothy children:Ī foul mastermind of a beast crawled in along the Lost River cave and into the mines and has settled into the chamber just north of the waterfall and source of the smaller river. ![]() If you haven’t already given it a read, I’ve been writing an adventure series on populating Dyson Logos’ amazing Dyson Mega-Delve. The Lumwochaak was Inspired by Dyson Logos And the host remains alive, spawning lumwochaak babies indefinitely as the lumwochaak and the spawn work to keep it alive.Īfter six months of feeding, the lumwochaak spawn grow into ugly, bald, speechless versions of the spawning host and act as minions for “daddy” lumwochaak.īecause, hey, aboleths weren’t awful enough, right?Īlong with the lumwochaak, I’ve also included a swarm of lumwochaak spawn and the lumwochaak greater spawn template along with a sample. Oh, and by the way, the host is still alive while this happens. Then, once the host “comes to term”, eel-like horrors crawl out of any available orifice. And instead of turning those it fights into goopy fish people, it seeks to impregnate a host with its larvae. Think of it as a rogue mutation of aboleths, something most aboleths try to destroy immediately. Basically, it’s a bigger, stronger, and meaner version of the basic aboleth. And man, did I have fun coming up with this thing. So while the little bugger might not be as tough as mom or dad, it’s just as devious and alien as those that spawned it. They pass on their knowledge and experience from generation to generation. The reasoning behind this is that aboleths have eternal memories. However, what’s interesting about the fry is that it still has the same Intelligence and Wisdom as a full grown aboleth. ![]() It’s basically to an aboleth what a dragon wyrmling is to a legendary dragon. It carries a lot of the same basic stuff as an aboleth, but loses its lair actions, legendary actions, and overall size. Basically, a fry is a young version of an aboleth a baby aboleth, if you will. The first variant, the aboleth fry, seemed a bit more obvious. Two Aboleth Variantsįor aboleths, I created two distinct variants. They’re smart, weird, and always five steps ahead. Not that they ever should, mind you, if they’re played right. Players don’t want to come anywhere near these things. Hit someone with a tentacle and they turn into a fish person? Barf!īut I guess that’s why they’re such good Fifth Edition villains. Not only are they scheming behind the scenes, sending out their minions to do all their dirty work, but they also have that body-horror ickiness that makes my skin crawl. They’re totally gross, right? Basically big, psionic eels straight out of a Lovecraft short story. 2 new aboleth variants plus 2 spin-off creations.Īboleths.My thoughts and inspirations going into creating these variations.Here’s what you can expect from this post: Welcome back to Dave’s Daily Fifth Edition Monsters! Today, I’ll be tackling the aboleth. DM Dave 2 Comments on Aboleth Variants | 4 New Monsters for 5th Edition (Updated 10/13/19) Posted in Monsters ![]()
