For my campaign, my party are tasked with investigating and underwater ruined city but what they dont know it isn't uninhabited, for a long forgotten necromancer still lives there (maybe a lich)
do what i am asking is how do you think i should stat this villain?
(a note this city has been lost for many many years, think Atlantis so this villain is ether undead or very old)
While it appears to be missing from the [Tooltip Not Found] and the [Tooltip Not Found], the other entries searchable in the Monster section of the site for "lich" all have, in their background description (not their statblock) the trait "Undead Nature", which states they do not need to eat, drink, or (most importantly) breathe. So you're already set to go on having your players encounter a Lich in it's now flooded crypt, with all the lair actions that would come with.
Hello all,

I would use the Necromancer stat block and maybe throw in some Sea Elf traits.
Also at least one Giant Shark Skeleton.
Yeah, you can just slap some aquatic race traits on the necromancer/lich stats and some undead traits on some aquatic monsters and call it a day.

I'd also recommend swarms of skeletal piranhas.
Are you willing to share your stat block? I'm working on an undersea lich that works for the evil sea goddess.
