[QUOTE="UnknownDyson, post: 7148306, member: 6801369"] There are many, as the Abyss has infinite layers. The Abyss is unique among planes in that it can actually be considered "alive", it has a will and and can create creatures and layers on its own. Some famous aquatic abyssal layers are the 88th layer of the Abyss the Gaping Maw, ruled by Demogorgon Prince of Demons and the 89th layer Shadowsea, ruled by the Obryrith lord Dagon. Mostly aquatic demons and other evil aquatic creatures. Gaping Maw - Ixitxachitl, Merrow, Aquatic Mariliths, Krakens, aquatic nagas. Shadowsea- Aquatic Mariliths, Krakens, chuuls, sea hags, aquatic nagas. Honestly because of the corrupting influence of the Abyss, you could put a demonic template on almost any aquatic creature and it be effective. You could have Demgorgon appear as a result of the wizard's ritual. He is statted in Out of the Abyss. The wizard could cast clairvoyance, scrying and locate creature (if he knows his quarry) to get a better idea where his enemies are. It seems like you want a kraken here, Demgorgon would also work but that depends on if your wizard is powerful enough to summon a demon of that magnitude. You could just have the party contend with a Gargantuan sized demonic shark. Anything lovecraftian. You could just google aberrant sea monster and a ton of stuff you can use will come up. Dagon, would be great for this, although it hasn't been statted, here is a picture. [ATTACH=CONFIG]85427._xfImport[/ATTACH] There is an epic monster thread on this forum that gets updated periodically, you should check it out. [URL]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468639-5e-EPIC-MONSTER-UPDATES[/URL] Not exactly but its simple to explain. Give the creature resistance to cold, lightning, and fire.
