Eryops Gigantis

Eryops · River Squatter · Mud Kato

A territorial amphibian species that roots itself in underwater homes, gains extreme Constitution, and fires lightning from its eyes.

Story so far

Eryops are bottom-dwelling river creatures notorious for entering underwater dwellings and refusing to leave. When rooted in a chosen place they receive a tenfold Constitution bonus, making them extremely difficult to kill or move.

They shoot branching lightning from their eyes and use long tongues to swallow prey. Claude Sludgington the Fourth is a level-65 example whose description hints that its belly is the practical target.

Appearance

A huge neckless hybrid of a flattened alligator and frog, with tiny legs, a broad mouth, and prehistoric features.

Role
