Merriods are large shark-like creatures with a pair of fanged tentacles protruding from their heads.
Description[]
Aquatic beings often found near lakes, streams, and swamps, Merriods feast on unsuspecting adventurers, using their flexible tentacles to immobilize and crush them. Some of the more vicious merriods devour their victims while they are still alive.[1]
Sailors and pirates in Shellport believe merriods to be the vengeance of a dead sea god. [2]
