  • Dhenrabi - large marine carnivores usually found in deep water - sea serpents that wrapped up whales and ships alike, blew out all the air under their armored skins and sank like a stone, taking their prey with them. They had a wide razorlike mouths and correspondingly wide heads, some as wide as ten arm-spans. Their bodies were covered in segmented armour of a deep green colour with each segment revealing long chitinous limbs. The creatures could be as long as one hundred and sixty paces.

                Not sure it was meant to fly. It's a heraldic beast.

                  Ok. That last drawing's still pretty awful, though.

                    Have you noticed how many of the illustrations of some of these creatures/spirits/demons don't even look remotely like what the others do? This is partly do to wildly different descriptions given for the c/s/d's and partly because I think some of the artists are stoned.
