Homebrew Abyzou Species Details
Abyzou are thought to be naturally occurring within swampy areas, like sludge cesspools, which have had prolonged exposure to necrotic energy or moonlight. These creatures feed mainly on rotting matter in their vicinity and can be deadly when life forms stop by to drink by what they think is a dark body of water. Abyzou are known to appear drawn to sewage works in cities and small towns, making them a nuisance for civilization. There was once a town which was run to the ground when abyzou infested their wells and drove out the townspeople by thirst. They are believed to be of average intelligence to be able to cooperate and act en masse. Wizards and warlocks have also been known to create abyzous by accident. They can be tamed to be used as servants.
