Deep One (Progeny)

These are the transformed, mind-dominated progeny of Deep Ones. Progeny look and act like humans (aside from telltale signs like nictating eyelids, patches of slimy, toad-like skin, or excessive mucus), but over time they become raving, froglike monstrosities that can only breathe water. The statistics in this entry reflect a Progeny that has been completely transformed by its Deep One. At that stage, the Progeny flee to the ocean to be with the Deep One that created them. The identities of the progeny slowly become suborned by the intrusive thoughts implanted into their minds by the Deep One. As they receive telepathic commands from the Deep One, their behavior becomes erratic and they begin to subconsciously act on its desires. As time passes, they lose their own volition, and must go into water after a few hours on land to rejuvenate, otherwise they start to rot. The process can be reversed via curative magic (like Restore) or magic that removes curses, but the Deep One must be slain for the intrusive thoughts that plague their minds to be lifted.
