description: 'The top half of a grindylow looks vaguely like that of a goblin, but
|
|
from the waist down, their bodies split into a tangle of suckered, wriggling tentacles.
|
|
They dwell mostly in shallow waters both fresh and briny, including lakes, rivers,
|
|
coastal regions, and near coral reefs. Grindylows generally organize into schools
|
|
ranging from a few individuals to a few hundred. Smaller schools can sometimes be
|
|
brought under the leadership of a powerful aquatic creature, though such alliances
|
|
last only until the school faces a major setback, at which point the surviving grindylows
|
|
scatter and form smaller schools of their own.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Grindylows aren''t territorial, but they are pragmatic; while they rarely build
|
|
permanent structures, they will adopt a good hunting ground for generations until
|
|
driven away by predators. They often lair in mobile shelters, such as a sargasso
|
|
of seaweed or the hull of an abandoned ship. They are skilled scavengers and hunters
|
|
that eat anything they can sink their teeth into.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Grindylows respect the power of bigger sea predators but have a special hatred for
|
|
squids (or anything they believe looks like a squid). Sailors plying grindylow-infested
|
|
waters often paint the images of squids on the bottoms of their hulls in hopes of
|
|
warding the little terrors off. While this can keep smaller schools at bay, it can
|
|
also backfire, potentially inciting larger groups to gather for a coordinated attack;
|
|
this becomes especially more likely if the ship''s route becomes predictable. This
|
|
hatred of squids does not extend to other tentacled creatures; grindylows consider
|
|
octopuses to be the epitome of grace and power.
