In Tome Show episode 177: Aquatic Adventures Matt Goetz and Erik Scott De Bie came on as guests to talk about running games in a watery environment. Inspired by an article they read about old D&D monsters they wanted to remake the Anquillian, an eel-like humanoid creature. It’s all claws, fins, and teeth. As an after-thought I asked if they’d be willing to stat out the creatures and I’d share stat blocks in the show notes like I’d done with some other guests in the past. They agreed and I hoped I’d get them in time to include in the show notes.  \nI ended up not hearing anything from them, I figured they are busy guys with day jobs and writing careers (be it game design work for WotC, novels, or both) they probably got a bit busy, it’s no big deal and no one would likely get too upset. Then a few weeks later, BAM! Right in my mailbox lands this awesome document with an incredible illustration.  \nThese guys didn’t just design the handful of monsters, they wrote them up entirely, gave them lore, and Matt even had his wife illustrate it (and do it beautifully if I do say so myself...I’m going to commission her for more work). I decided that this was worth more than just tossing up as a link in show notes. I took the time to go through it to set up the formatting, do some layout work, and handle what little editing work was needed.  \nThese guys took the time to give us a full blown article on this monster, I wanted to do right by them and present it as well as I could. That is what I present to you here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have and leave a comment in the post at the website to let us know if you used them ina game and how it went.  \nThanks Matt, Erik, and Roxxy you guys are welcome back any time!  \n-Jeff Greiner  \nAnguillian  \nDark terrors stir in the crushing depths, where the light of the distant sky fades into murky blackwater. Far below civilized realms, beneath even the wild open waters lurk vicious beasts accustomed to the darkness. They move with sinuous, silent grace, drawn to intruders by the heat of their delicious blood.  \nLore  \nNature (DC 17): Anguillians are vicious predators, called by some the “gnolls ofthe deep sea.”They drink blood to bolster their slimy bodies against the impossible chill of the depths. They form societies based on strength, where an alpha hunter leads a strict, unspoken hierarchy. The leaders among Anguillians are almost always male, referred to as chieftains of various levels. Strength is the only trait the Anguillians value as a basis for leadership, and may hesitate to fight if presented with a very strong threat.  \nArcana or Dungeoneering (DC 21): Some Anguillians called Gloomdivers learn to touch the Deepdark, the Shadow reflection of their natural deep ocean environment (in their language, they call this place the “Ebon Fathoms”) . Such contact is soothing for them, as the Deepdark is a world completely and utterly devoid of light, filled only with crushing darkness. But touching the darkness exerts a heavy price: the shadows drain vitality, ultimately killing a Gloomdiver that remains too long. For this purpose, Gloomdivers drain the hot blood of their victims before taking extended jaunts in their dark heaven. No meal is ever quite sufficient, however, and soon the hunger for blood returns.  \nEncounters  \nPossessed of only average intelligence, Anguillians rely upon their feral cunning and a natural propensity for psychological warfare to weigh on their enemies’minds and spirits. They play with their prey for a time, lurking at the limits of their vision, brushing against them in the dark—all meant to harry their would-be victims into an ambush. Then they attack viciously with an all-consuming hunger.  \nAnguillian Reefrunner  \nOften intruders t","cbCaim2PwQw8Ikvd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim2PwQw8Ikvd","pdf",1242278,"English","# Introduction\n# Anguillian\n## Lore\n## Encounters\n# Anguillian Reefrunner\n## Reefrunner in Combat\n## Traits and Abilities","[{\"question\":\"What is the Anguillian’s main way of feeding and why does it matter?\",\"answer\":\"Anguillians drink blood to bolster their slimy bodies against the impossible chill of the depths.
