Kephaloths are terrifying monsters of the black depths beneath the waves, their lower halves split into a writhing mass of tentacles, and their skull-like faces splitting to reveal toothed tripartite jaws like those of a snapping turtle. They are far from simple beasts, however, and have crafted weapons and armour of their own designs for war on the aquatic nations and indeed upon the surface as well.
Statistics: Kephaloths are Challenge rating 8 monsters, with impressive swimming skills and the ability to bite their opponents for savage damage. They can also exude a cloud of ink that poisons their foes as well as clouding vision, and have spellcasting powers as an 8th-level druid. How you can use Kephaloths in your game: - Kephaloths are terrible foes that sometimes take it upon themselves to take leadership of a kingdom of Sahuagin, often devouring the existing ruler to cement their power. They lead these bands to despoil nearby settlements for food and slaves, bearing them down to the depths in magical bubbles. - A single Kephaloth might lurk alone in a deep lake, threatening passers-by or villages with violence unless its demands are met. Some take to extorting large areas like this, unless someone can stop them. - It is even rumoured that a mighty Clave of Kephaloths exists in the abysses beneath the oceans, and that the ones which emerge are only the weakest of their kind. The contemplation of such a nation terrifies the surface in general, and is suppressed for fear that it might be real. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 3 September 2020. Comments are closed.
