Dire Catfish

[diaglo]

Some big old fish there.

and to this day, only two PC's have been eaten by Giant Catfish in a friend's campaign and we still mock them over it.

Giant Frogs are the only true swallow whole monsters. All the other .....

read the story hour in my sig.

after the TPK my new PC about 30 minutes or so into the session was swallowed whole.

That's a big sucker. Course, makes me think of Big Fish.

does it mention "noodling"?

On a side note, our local newspaper on tuesday had the following headline for a small article.

Woman Arrested in Noodle Attack

The article said she was actually arrested because she attacked a man with the scalding water, not because of the noodles that were in the water.

Wow. Nice pics. And I thought the pony thing was partially a rumor.

Oh, and not that noodling, Ao. For those who don't know, "noodling" is fishing for large catfish by enticing them to try and swallow your arm. Usually not twelve-footer European catfish (they'd swallow the rest of you, too), but smaller-but-still-disturbingly-large American fish. The practice is most common in the South, I believe.

Demiurge out.

Alton? Jeez, that's just thirty miles up the river. Guess that's what this thing used to eat.

What the heck is that thing? Looks like a peryton.

This really isn't helping our image.

What, you mean you're a noodler?

I'm noodling right now, IYKWIMAITYD.





Um, no. Just a "Southerner."

I wouldn't mock them -- some friends in college put catfish they caught in a river in a tank with all their oscars, snakeheads and so on. A week later, only the catfish were left.

That is the infamous Piasa bird.
