A vodyanoi (pronounced: /ˈvdjɑːnɔɪVOD-ya-noy[4] or: /ˈvɑːdjɑːnɔɪVAD-ya-noy[4]) was a close relative of an umber hulk that dwelt in deep bodies of fresh water.[3]

Description

These strong creatures looked similar to umber hulks, but had slimy green skin and webbed claws. Vodyanoi did not have the gaze attack of the umber hulk, but could swim.[3]

Combat

They attacked with their large and powerful claws, as well as their mandibles. Vodyanoi could summon up to a score of electric eels to assist them in combat.[3]

Ecology

Vodyanoi were very territorial, attacking both creatures, as well as vessels, that crossed through their lands.[3]

Habitats

They were known to inhabit the fresh-water lakes in Chessenta,[2]. In the Sea of Fallen Stars they were known to inhabit the abyssal plains of Serôs as well as the town of Lyrathil.[5]

Relationships

Some vodyanoi acted as servants of the marid Kalbari al-Durrat al-Amwaj ibn Jari in her Citadel of Ten Thousand Pearls.[6]
