The Aquatic Screamer is a terrifying aberration in Dungeons & Dragons, often associated with deep oceans or vast subterranean lakes. This creature is infamous for its piercing scream, which can stun or disorient prey. It has an eerie, almost humanoid appearance, with elongated limbs, webbed claws, and a lamprey-like maw filled with razor-sharp teeth. Its translucent, bioluminescent skin allows it to blend into dark waters, making it a lethal ambush predator.

Legends claim Aquatic Screamers are the remnants of cursed sailors or failed magical experiments. Others believe they serve powerful underwater entities like krakens or aboleths. Their chilling wail is both a hunting tool and a defense mechanism, capable of shattering the minds of the weak-willed. Some sages theorize their screams resonate with psionic energy, enabling them to communicate over great distances or influence the thoughts of those who hear them.

In combat, Aquatic Screamers rely on ambush tactics, using their natural stealth to get close before unleashing their devastating scream. They prefer to drag their victims into deep water, where their superior mobility gives them an advantage. Their claws and bite inflict wounds that resist magical healing, making them even more dangerous foes.

Encountering an Aquatic Screamer often signifies the presence of greater horrors lurking below. Some coastal towns have superstitions about hearing strange wails at night, fearing it as an omen of doom. Adventurers who delve into sunken ruins or flooded caverns may find themselves at the mercy of these creatures, their minds overwhelmed by the unearthly shriek before they are dragged into the abyss.

While rare, particularly knowledgeable or unscrupulous individuals have been known to attempt capturing and controlling Aquatic Screamers, using their abilities for sinister purposes. Most who try rarely survive the attempt.
