Terror Eel

Adversaries Designed by Tim Roddick-Hull

Adversary overview

A monstrous eel that swims in the depths of the Mothdust Cenotes, picking off those unlucky enough to stray from the well known caverns with magical pulses and a fanged maw.

The Terror Eel is the alpha of an underwater nest, with other eels and fish protecting it in a shoal. It works best as part of a large group encounter with Electric Eels and other aquatic monsters.
