Hey thanks! But now I feel guilty... At dinner tonight I thought up an undead fish creature called "Fish Heads".

Roly poly? Barreling down the corridor like an Indiana Jones boulder trap?

Yeah, I'm wondering if I can combine "fish heads" and "roly poly" or I have to go with one or the other. The idea came from dinner at a Chinese restaurant where one dish wish a whole fish and you're eating right off the bone.

Likewise, I'm wondering if I'm going too cute/punny with another I was working on yesterday: "Invisible Touch" a hand-like spider creature that is usually invisible and has "built-in abilities" to "take everything it sees" (wrap around an object so it disappears) and (separately) "crawl under your skin" (enter an open wound or mouth to auto-hit each round) and "reach in, grab your heart" (special critical-hit damage whether inside you or not) plus "tear you apart" (if inside you, rip your internal organs for a death save if OSE or some other effect if death saves aren't a thing in the system.)

To be clear, this is the first one I leaned in so heavily to the lyrics. Usually it is just a nod or two in the description or the name of one ability.
