The lair played an important role in the morkoth's tactics.

They relied heavily on their ability to hypnotize their prey into entering their lair where they could be killed without much fuss and eaten.

Combat Ī morkoth's only offensive weapon was its bite, either with a mouth full of sharp teeth or a wicked beak. Krakens were an exception: morkoths would offer to assist them in exchange for a food-slave now and then. Morkoths reveled in subterfuge and were likely to betray lesser allies the moment it was greatly advantageous for them to do so. They were known to strike deals with other evil races, helping a cause in exchange for a slave or two, which, because of the morkoth's ravenous appetite, were likely consumed in a short time. Treasure and magic items held no fascination for the morkoth, they were only useful as bait for luring in their next meal or as bargaining chips. Morkoths were generally solitary and viewed most other races with disdain, suspicion, or complete indifference.

Their skin was black with patches of luminescence that glowed faintly in the deep gloom. Young adult morkoths were about 6 feet (1.8 meters), but older specimens could grow larger. Down the center of their back was a dorsal fin and they had large, bulging eyes. Adding to the confusion, they had legs like a lobster protruding from their midsection and eight octopus-like tentacles making up the lower half of their body. A few had beaks like a squid, which was one reason why some descriptions were inconsistent. Most morkoths had a wide mouth with many sharp teeth visible even when the mouth was closed. Description Įarly descriptions of morkoths were vague and suggested they were humanoid, but as these mysterious creatures got involved in the affairs of other races, a more accurate picture emerged. Among the tritons they were known as kraknyth, which in their language meant 'kin of the kraken.' And among merfolk they were referred to by the slang 'deep demons'. A common name among all Serôsians was the Corrupted. Among the other aquatic races of Serôs, there were a number of names by which the morkoth were referred to.
