Lurkers

Description
Lurkers are vermin that infest the sewers of Britannia and the rivers and lakes of the Underworld. The traveler who must venture into water will be particularly vulnerable to the Lurker's particularly potent bite and strong grasp of tentacles.

It has been surmised that Lurkers do not possess the underwater breathing capabilities of fish; thus, they must surface to breathe. Indeed, many travelers have noted that Lurkers may linger on the surface of the water, waiting for scraps of garbage or easy prey. It is fair to assume that Lurkers are more of a scavenger than predator, but it would be wise to avoid these creaturs all together. Employ missle weapons, from a safe distance, when possible. If you encounter a Lurker in open water, be prepared to defend yourself as they are quite agile.
