Baomal

The enormous, fearsome baomal, a product of the Great Cataclysm's mutating magical energies, is one of the most dangerous creatures prowling the seas.

Basic Information

Anatomy

A baomal resembles a giant sea turtle with two serpents' heads.

Ecology and Habitats

Baomals tend to stay in the depths of the oceans, although they sometimes wander closer to the surface.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Baomals hunt large sea creatures, competing with other deep-sea predators like krakens and dragon turtles.

Behaviour

While dangerous, baomals are not actually evil. However, those that come to the surface often find that ships are easy targets containing plenty of food.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Baomals are mostly solitary, meeting only occasionally, by coincidence or to mate.

Domestication

Some Algollthus have managed to train baomals as beasts of war, but they just as often end up in its stomach.

Average Intelligence

Baomals are more intelligent than most animals, but still driven simply by the instinct to survive, and not comparable to humanoids.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Being accustomed to the deep sea, baomals can see in darkness, and their serpent heads retain their sharp sense of smell.
