Deep Ones are crablike sea-people that walk on two legs.[1]
Deep one concept
Origin[ | ]
Deep Ones are behemoths of the ocean. Halfway between beasts and men, similar in mentality to a troll, Deep Ones live to serve the whims of the more powerful denizens of the deep, as well as the mad sorcerers of the Abyssal Cult. Evidence of them is found in ruins across Telara, as if their appearance heralds society's end.
Description[ | ]
They have been sighted with shells colored in hues ranging from pale blue to grayish green to deep red. They are huge and looming beasts that wear nothing over their carapaces and wield only primitive weapons. Armed with gnarled claws, and protected by tough, chitinous shells, these denizens of the deeps are fierce in combat.
Size[ | ]
Deep ones can be enormous, but these tend to be rarer and lurk in the deeper recesses of Telara. The ones more usually encountered will be about the size of a Dwarf.
Locations[ | ]
They are most commonly found at the bottom of Telara's largest bodies of water, far outside the reach of the light of day. They dwell in coral caves and in the deepest kelp forests where they hunt sea creatures and pick over the remains of those hapless dead that drift to the bottom.
Alignment[ | ]
Deep ones originate from the plane of water and are the soldiers of Akylios. Deep ones can be found fighting alongside the mad cultists of the Abyssal.
