Aboleth (Part 2)

Aboleths are described in the Monster Manual as creatures that “lair in subterranean lakes or the rocky depths of the ocean, often surrounded by the ruins of an ancient, fallen aboleth city. An aboleth spends most of its existence underwater, surfacing occasionally to treat with visitors or deranged worshipers.”

We are joined by Rich Howard. Rich, whose pronouns are he/him, is a podcaster, writer, and game designer best known for all things underwater. You may know him as the host of Whelmed: The Young Justice Files, concept lead for the PbtA game Descent into Midnight, or for the 5e conversion of Sam Hing’s Horrors of the Aboleth. You can find him very occasionally on Twitter at @umbralwalker.

We were also joined by Susanah Grace and returning guest from the Flumph episode, Alex Boer.

Kappa was our announcer.

Kill Every Monster is a 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons podcast. In each episode, we are joined by a guest to discuss the lore, mechanics, and story potential of classic D&D creatures. We debate tactics for maximizing these creatures in your game, and we ask the ever-important question: are they really a monster?
