WASTRILITH

Found in the waters of the Abyss

and other bod-

ies of water contaminated by

the plane's fell influ-

e nce, wastriliths establis h themselves as lords of

the deep and rule their dominions with cruelty.

Despoilers. A wastrilith contaminates the wa-

ters around it.

Its noxious presence even affects

nearby

sources of water when the demon travels

on

land. The corrupted water, which contains a

measure of the demon's essence, responds to its

commands- perhaps hardening to prevent foes

from escaping, or erupting in a surge that drags

would-be victims into its reach.

Silen t Corrupters. Creatures that ingest wa-

te r that has been corrupted by a wastrilith risk

their ve ry s ouls. Those who drink the

poisonous

liquid might wither away until they

finally die, or

remain alive only to become a thrall

of chaos and

evil. To represent this defilement, you can use the

optional rule on abyssal corruption in chapter 2

of the Dungeon Master's Guide, causing the poi-

soned creatur

e to be corrupted.
