Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mesh Hong" data-source="post: 5364194" data-attributes="member: 73463">The following are two more low paragon aquatic creatures, I should probably turn my attention away from the seas after this. Spiny Demonfish were bred primarily as an active alarm system for underwater demonic lairs as they were magically manipulated to investigate threats, confront them and escalate their response if appropriate. Young Spiny Demonfish lie in wait around the extreme perimeter area of a lair and launch themselves from hiding to attack any incoming threat with their poisoned spines. When each is defeated it sends a psychic communication to the parent that spawned it reporting its final location. An adult (or parent) Demonfish can choose to investigate any psychic communications it receives from its spawn. It would usually ignore a single such communication but if it receives quick bursts of 2 or more such communications it will know that a threat is in the area. Adult Spiny Demonfish have a keener psychic ability that not only sends the location of their death to their demonic master but also has a chance of sending an image of the creature responsible for its death. This ability is very useful for the master demon as it can make an assessment of the creatures entering its territory and respond accordingly. Spiny Demonfish (young) Level 10 Minion Medium Elemental Magical Beast (aquatic) XP 125  Initiative +10 Senses Perception +6 HP 1; a missed attack never damages a minion.
