Gloomfang!

Description

In the deepest, most shadowed part of the Black Marsh, there resides a monstrous reptilian horror known as Gloomfang! She is a massive, ancient Sable Hydra with a huge crocodilian body covered in thick, blackened scales, seven heads on long, serpentine necks, and eyes that glimmer with a malevolent intelligence. Gloomfang! has adapted over centuries to the Black Marsh’s oppressive environment, and her many heads allow her to be aware of every movement within her domain.

Gloomfang! usually spends her days submerged in the deepest parts of the Black Marsh, her seven heads sunk up to her eyes in the bog. At least one of her heads will be awake and alert, vigilantly watching for prey that comes too close before savagely lunging to snatch and tear apart her prey in a frenzy of feeding.

All the other denizens of the Black Marsh know to pay obeisance to Gloomfang! if they want to live. This usually takes the form of food, which she prefers to be a live sacrifice, and the bigger the better. Both the Lizardfolk and the Bullywugs pay a tribute to Gloomfang! regularly.
