As the River of sorrows passes hrough the Nine Hells, it becomes gradually wider and wider, until it becomes a vast, near-impenetrable, stinking bog: Acheron.Lurking in the mud are horrible creatures called Sugos. Juiblex himself created them, but they turned against him and all other creatures of Chaos. They greedily devour the little bugs and large worms of Acheron, but would much rather seek greater prey. A Sugo appears as a flattish brown disc with a large red eye in the top center. Radiating from the sides of the disc are eight slimy, brown tentacles, each equipped with a large grey sucker cup at the end. Sugos blend in perfectly with the bog, and thus surprise opponents on a 1-4.A Sugo will attempt to attach its suckers to several adventurers (each requires a successful “to hit” roll) and suck their flesh away. The Sugo will do 1-4 pts. damage per round, and will only remove its sucker if the victim is killed or if the tentacle is chopped off.How to chop a tentacle off: Each time a hit at a specific place on a tentacle is to be made, the player must tell the DM he is hitting at that place. Each tentacle can absorb 8 pts. of damage, regardless of the hit points of the Sugo’s body. Each tentacle has an AC of -3 (because it is harder to aim at a specific point rather than the general creature). If the Sugo’s body takes its full hit points in damage, the creature will die regardless of the rules in this paragraph. These rules only apply when chopping a tentacle off.Originally appeared in Dragon Magazine #47 (1981).</blockquote>
