Vile creatures that lurk in disease-infested bogs and sewers, plague swimmers prefer to dwell in waters touched by disease, though their repulsive presence quickly turns even the purest water into a stagnant mire. They attract creatures can spread disease, like rats and flies, and they occasionally hunt alongside predators like otyughs that also live in disgusting places. Plague swimmers look somewhat like gigantic toads, though they have the legs and claws of panthers, and a head that resembles that of a shark. |
