Vaspercham

Vasperchams are aquatic horrors who delight in violence, lurking in the shallows near shorelines. Once a vaspercham settles on a home, they stubbornly stay there, regardless of any communities dwelling nearby. A vaspercham's physical might and magic-warping abilities make them incredibly hard to dislodge once entrenched. Vasperchams respond only to strength, so one must best them in combat to gain their begrudging cooperation. But once a vaspercham recovers their strength, they inevitably betray any temporary alliance.
