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 adventurers, using the following stats for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition:
