A large angler fish that has been sand roughened and tanned by the sun. Resides in the sunny desert weather of southern  Kaechaek and hunts by using it's lure to draw in unsuspecting travelers... a desert angler is a realisation caused by dreams of drowning in sand.

Suggested Environments

It lives in typically sunny and hot deserts or spaces filled with an abundance of sand to fuel the nightmares and dreams that lead to it's inception.

The desert angler is a creature that resides in the southern deserts of Kaechaek and uses a lure to trick adventurers and travellers into falling into it's trap. 
Desert angler's are born from either dreams of comfort in sand-filled deserts or from nightmares of being crushed by sand. 
When a desert angler eats a creature, it absorbs it's memories and mannerisms and the creature takes the desert angler's place as a lure for other adventurers.
