[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2751522, member: 19675"] Or a shark capable of flying through the ark of the covenant and biting god's head off...with missles and metal teeth. It is a fish. It is thirty feet long and lives in bermuda. It's name is stan. It's metal teeth are made from steel, but also gold. It can never die... Wait...that sounds familiar... Considering this place seems to have been the center of much death and fighting, you could use spirits of the restless dead to set up adventure hooks, drop clues as to the nature of the thing below... Your imprisoned nemesis can either be a BBEG and his minions, or some kind of superpredator (think Alien), either of which could be devastating should they escape. A template idea I've been toying with- an aquatic creature with a poison sting touch (like an anemone or jellyfish)- could be qute nasty in this semi-aquatic setting and within the context you've outlined, especially if paired with the gelatinous template. One downside, the creatures upon which I based it are all marine (salt-water) critters. Remember...aquatic/semi-aquatic predators tend to think in 3 dimensions, as opposed to the 2-dimensional thinking of most terrestrial creatures. That is, they don't only consider left, right, front & back, they also consider above and below. Even a predator of animal intelligence with an aquatic nature will try to attack from angles that most players won't even think of...until its too late. This is especially true of ambush predators.
