Cistern Fiend

Insectoid

Terrain: Any water

Frequency: Rare

# Appearing: 1

This terrible creature is believed to have been conjured from the twisted mind of some long-dead sage. Frequently, unsuspecting victims of the cistern fiend think they have found a safe or unguarded water supply; this is usually their last conscious thought. The cistern fiend appears as a giant, vaguely green but translucent worm with a great mass of coiling pinkish tentacles surrounding a hideous mouth. The cistern fiend is virtually invisible when totally submerged in water. The creature’s size depends on its age and the amount of water available, but most cistern fiends average 40’ to 50’ in length.
