B is for Barracuda!
Added 2022-08-22 15:22:06 +0000 UTCI'm still having fun working my way through the old Monster Manual where we can find entries for such dread eldritch monstrosities as the fearsome Barracuda!

2022-08-24 20:34:20 +0000 UTCI believe Modrons came along in Monster Manual 2. I liked the book, but I felt the art lacked some of the strange charm of the MM1 and Fiend Folio before it.

2022-08-24 20:21:28 +0000 UTCDid it also have Modrons? I first came to D&D with 3.5 and Modrons were gone, but I found out about them later and thought they were very bizarre.

2022-08-24 19:20:26 +0000 UTCThanks! I really had no idea how to "ink" water, so I just kept throwing random techniques at it until I was like, "oh, that actually looks kinda cool."

2022-08-24 17:53:33 +0000 UTCNo, the book says they are terrifying beasts of the deep, so roll initiative!

2022-08-24 17:52:38 +0000 UTCYes, on that first Monster Manual, it kinda felt like they were just picking up the encyclopedia to find enough filler.

2022-08-24 16:52:33 +0000 UTCVery nice! In tropical waters where Barracuda encounter swimmers, most, if not all "shark attacks" are actually Barracuda bites. It's fairly rare, and seldom fatal, as, like sharks, a Barracuda really doesn't want to eat a human (or elf), they are looking for fish and make a mistake.

2022-08-23 20:51:12 +0000 UTCBarracudas are saltwater fish, not salt&pepperwater. Barracudas prey primarily on fish, hope her kitty doesn't taste like fish. They may mistake things that glint and shine for prey, like fishing lures or nipple jewelry. Swimmers have reported being bitten by barracudas, but such incidents are rare and possibly caused by poor visibility, so I think she is safe because I can see Everything!
