OF ATTACKS: 1DAMAGE/ATTACK : 1SPECIAL ATTACKS: PoisonSPECIAL DEFENSES: NilMAGIC RESISTANCE: StandardINTELLIGENCE: Non-ALIGNMENT: NeutralSIZE: S (6‘ long)Weed eels are masters of camouflage, appearing as a patch of normal seaweed to any but a highly trained observer. They live in colonies, sharing food and home alike. Their bite is poisonous, and unless a saving throw is made the creature bitten will die. Weed eel colonies consist of a network of small (six to eight inch diameter) holes which all lead to several 6‘ diameter tunnels, and the latter lead to a communal cave about 30’ long, 20’ wide, and 20’ high. The eels use small stones, coins, gems, metal, etc. to floor this cave with. Colonies are found in both fresh and salt water, typically in water depths of 25’ to 40’. If an attempt is made to enter any hole, the eel to whom it belongs will always strike with incredible speed. If eels note the entrance of foreign creatures, they will leave their holes to protect the cave where young are raised.Originally appeared in Monster Manual (1977).Monstrous Manual version:Eel, Weed #AP 10-60 AC 8 MV Sw 15 HD 1-1 THAC0 20 Att 1 Dmg/Att 1 Morale Unsteady (6) XP Value120 The bite of the weed eel is poisonous; victims failing a saving throw vs. poison die in 1d4 rounds.Weed eels are at home in both fresh and salt water, 25 to 40 feet deep. Each colony has a lair consisting of a central cave, roughly 30 feet long and 20 feet wide and high. The floor of the central cave is covered with small stones, coins, and gems that the eels have scavenged. Radiating from this central cave are a series of 6-foot-diameter tunnels, which in turn lead to a network of 6 to 8-inch-diameter holes. These are the homes of the individual eels that make up the colony. Weed eels are fiercely protective of their lairs, especially the central cave where their young are raised.</blockquote>
