KRAKEN PRIEST

A kraken can seem godlike to folk who have witnessed

its fury. Those who believe that its might comes from
being a divine entity and those who seek to appease the
monster through its veneration sometimes find them-
selves infused with special abilities, to serve thereafter
as kraken priests.

KYSH (TRI TON)

A prisoner of the sahuagio in The Final Enemy, Kysh is
a defender of the deep sea realms who is ready to join
the party in their struggle. Tritons are fo lk of the Ele-
mental Plane of Water who journeyed to the Material
Plane to watch over the dark places of the ocean depths.
They stand guard over portals, deep sea chasms, and
other places where foul monsters might emerge. When
such threats appear, the tritons take up arms to drive
them from the world.
