A vodyanoi (pronounced: /ˈvoʊdjɑːnɔɪ/ VOD-ya-noy[4] or: /ˈvɑːdjɑːnɔɪ/ VAD-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] They were known to inhabit the fresh-water lakes in Chessenta.[2]
