Editing Anguillian (section)

==3e Anguillian Lore==
''This creature resembles a cross between a humanoid and an eel, with two fleshy appendages tipped with bony pincers, two stubby hind legs, and a hideous circular mouth filled with rings of teeth.''

Anguillians are aquatic hunters that inhabit the blackwater abysses of cold seas. Their favorite prey is whales and giant squid, which they hunt down in large parties. They are scavengers too when need be, willing to eat any kind of flesh—even that of their own dead. They can’t tolerate bright light and dare the surface only on moonless nights, to raid island shores or passing ships. During such brief sojourns out of the water, they wield crude spears of bone and coral in their pincers. An adult anguillian is about 6 feet long and weighs 180 pounds. Anguillians speak a dialect of Sahuagin. More intelligent individuals also speak Aquan and languages of other undersea races.

A community of anguillians is a patriarchal hierarchy. A high chief rules and is served by numerous chieftains, who hold administrative positions, and subchiefs, who lead small hunting or battle groups. A leader faces frequent challenges from young males, for strength is the only measure of leadership anguillians recognize.

===Playing Anguillians?===
Their 3e entry includes the following paragraph on "Playing Anguillians", but this is yet another of those monsters where the onerous of figuring out what the PC racial profile looks like is on the [[Dungeon Master]]... just like the [[Firenewt]].

''An anguillian’s favored class is ranger. Most anguillian leaders are [[ranger]]s or [[fighter]]s. Anguillian rangers usually choose animals as their favored enemy. Anguillian [[cleric]]s worship [[Umberlee]] or [[The Mockery]], and typically choose the domains of Destruction and Water.''
