Inversegen

Description

An Inversegen, also called a Devil Fish, is a 5-foot tall manta ray-humanoid hybrid. Its head is encased in a large fin with a span of 7 feet. It has black beady eyes and a large mouth filled with two rows of needle-like teeth. It has small, almost vestigial arms and fully- formed legs, both without skeleton and a long spiked tail. Its coloration varies from auburn to rosewood. In combat, its only attack is a vicious bite. 1 in 5 is a priest with Clerical abilities of 5th-level and a minimum of 30 hit points. 1 in 25 is a high priest with Clerical abilities of level 8 and a minimum of 35 hit points. It frequently casts a variant of Spiritual Hammer which manifests a trident instead, dealing a base of 1d8 points of damage; it uses this to attack foes from the rear.

An inversegen only speaks its native language. It can be found only in salt water and lives in open cities at the bottom of the oceans where it is said to worship evil sea gods. Priests and high priests have a 5% and 20% chance, respectively, of possessing a magic ring, which it wears on one of its legs.
