Message: <blockquote data-quote="YOGZULA" data-source="post: 7062103" data-attributes="member: 6802354">Why I assume an aboleth would enslave a kraken is because it has eternity to plan.  It's not going to fight a kraken 1v1, nor is it going to expose itself to danger.  It would approach the kraken with an army of minions to begin with, position itself cleverly such as in a large amount of cover where it wouldn't be seen, maybe in a sunken ship, a tight cave, etc.  Same deal for the dragon turtle or other powerful creatures.  The assumption wasn't in them engaging in a 1v1 fight, but instead engaging in a fight where the more powerful creature is being lured into a trap where there are many creatures fighting for the aboleth and the aboleth is well hidden.As far as controlling towns and fleets, the idea has much more to do with the aboleth reading their minds, learning their greatest desires and manipulating them.  All of this comes from the Aboleth being a creature that is thousands of years old and has no other goal other than gaining power.That said, and in response to your last comment, this isn't a series targeted at veteran DMs who already have a firm grasp of every monster and are already using them in their world.  It's more targetted toward DMs who might not have ever used the monster before and DnD fans who never really read up on the lore and would rather listen to it.  A lot of each video is going to be explaining the abilities and lore of each creature for that reason.  I understand that it won't be useful to everyone, and I'll be more conscious about trying to include some extra content that might be more appealing to people like yourself who are already fully knowledgeable.  Ultimately, you'll be a lot harder to please than everyone else.Thanks for your well thought out feedback.</blockquote>
