Editing Vodyanoi

{{cleanup}}
Vodyanoi - male water spirit from Slavic folklore. He is described as a frog-headed old man who drowns everyone who cross his territory. The [[Deep Ones]] grandpa ? Not improbable. Anyway, he surely breath stinkts.

In [[Dungeons & Dragons]], the vodyanoi is traditionally an aquatic analogue to the [[Umber Hulk]], similar to the [[Aquatic Elf]], [[Koalinth]], [[Scrag]] and [[Merrow]]. Like umber hulks, vodyanoi are far smarter than they appear, but largely content to live a primitive, predatory lifestyle.

In [[Dragon Magazine]] #250, the article Heroes of the Sea notes that some vodyanoi turn against this lifestyle of being savage raiders and instead pursue a more peaceful existence. Though still motivated by their own interests, such vodyanoi can even become [[adventurer]]s, using the following stats for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2nd edition:
