Dwellers in the Depths

Dwellers in the Depths are aquatic creatures, and like the Deep Ones, have cities beneath the Earth's seas and rivers. They serve the aquatic Great Old Ones such as CthulhuDagon, and Zoth-Ommog.



In the RPG...

Though they are aquatic, the Dwellers can come to the surface. They are immune to most physical attacks, though if the Investigator aims for its brain organ (with a Penalty Die) it will be killed with 5 damage or more. Fire, electricity, and magic do normal damage. If there's one thing I've learned from writing this blog, it's that a flamethrower would be an invaluable weapon in fighting the Mythos. So many creatures are immune to physical weapons, yet take normal damage from fire. The only detail to change with the 7e Malleus Monstrorum is once again the attack chance.

In a video game...

Despite their difficulty to kill, I think a Dweller would be pretty cool in a game.

In a film...

I'd like to read Ramsey Campbell's "The Horror from the Bridge", because I feel these creatures could be quite scary if done right.
