Deep Sea Mutated Horror
Down in the deepest, darkest depths of the oceans and seas,
and water, but it needs to be submerged
creatures of the most vile nature make their home. Of these
creatures, one of the most horrific is the Deep Sea Mutated
Horror.
Brought down under the crushing pressure of the ocean
above them, Deep Sea Mutated Horrors are usually
humanoids that have been experimented on and mutated by
far more intelligent and sadistic underwater denizens or
imbued with the power of malignant entities that live in the
chilling pitch black unknown. They are incredible foes,
usually sent first to rip holes into the hulls of ships with their
tentacle maws and breach into the vessel. Using ink to blind
their unfortunate victims, the Deep Sea Mutated Horror is a
fury of biting and stabbing tentacles that stirs panic and fear.
Deep Sea Mutated Horror
Personalities
Deep Sea Mutated Horrors are usually creatures of
servitude, following the will and wishes of those who had a
part in creating their mutated forms. They thrive in being
initial distractions or bruisers that cause havoc before a more
organized attack. However, whether spurred by memories of
their old former lives or driven insane by their mutated and
malformed thoughts, some Deep Sea Mutated Horrors may
reject servitude and seek their own twisted goals.

Deep Sea Denizen. The mutated horror is acclimated
to the high pressure of the deepest parts of the
ocean and is resistant to cold damage.
Hull Carver. The mutated horror deals double
damage to wooden objects and structures.
Limited Amphibiousness. The mutated horror can
breathe air
at least once every 4 hours to avoid suffocating.
Actions
Multiattack. The mutated horror uses its Ink Spray if
it is able to and then makes two attacks, either with
its Tentacle Spike or Gnashing Tentacle or once
with both.
Tentacle Spike. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit,
reach 15ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) piercing
damage.
Gnashing Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit,
reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) piercing
damage.
Ink Spray (Recharge 4-6). The mutated horror
launches ink at a target creature within 30 feet of it.
If the target is underwater, a 20-foot-radius cloud
extends all around the target creature. The area is
heavily obscured for 1 minute and each creature
other than the mutated horror that ends its turn in
the area must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution
saving throw, taking 10 (4d4) poison damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful
save. If the target is not underwater, the target
creature makes a DC 15 Constitution saving throw.
On a failed save, the target takes 15 (6d4) poison
damage and is blinded until the start of their next
turn. The creature takes half damage and is not
blinded on a successful save.
