Drowned Souls of the Abyssal Woe
A haunting wail echoes through the corridors of damp, sunken ruins. Cloaked in the tattered remnants of submerged garments, this creature glides through water and shadow with unnatural grace. The essence of those lost at sea, the spawn of despair, they seek to claim the souls of the unwary. Their presence is marked by an otherworldly chill, and the air around them shimmers as if wrestling with ancient sorrows. Those nearby can hear whispers of the abyss, urging them to join the endless depths of the forgotten waters.
