Does anyone know any backstory behind the lowly quipper?
For no particular reason, I got to thinking about this a few days ago. I've heard lots of interesting history about other more iconic D&D monsters, but not this one.
I had always assumed it was a real fish, but after a brief bout of internetting, I learned it's actually a fictitious creature introduced in 1e. Aside from that, though I couldn't find anything solid about where it came from, or why. Perhaps it's been addressed in one of the D&D history books, blogs, or youtube channels or something?
