Ecology

Kuo-toa* is an outsider to the natural order, often associated with the Far Realm or other planes whose laws differ from this world. It is most often found in coastal regions. It is medium-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Kuo-toa* is cold and inhuman in its goals; it does not think the way mortals think. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.

Origin

Kuo-toa* is codified in the 5.5e Monster Manual. Aberrations leak from the Far Realm or older creations that predate the gods, where the laws of reality differ. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
