DEEPLURKER SURFING

DEEPLURKER

Terrifying to behold, Deeplurkers are a poisonous fish that dwell at the bottom of the ocean and prey on the weak. However, they are known to travel to the surface in times of dire need. Many believe that they are sensitive to the balance of elemental water magic and, when that balance is in danger, the Deeplurkers rise to attack or defend it.

The Kulu Swimhunters swam just below the surface of the water, following the Praetorian fishing vessel. When it lowered its sails and came to a halt, they would strike.

Movement from the depths below caught the eye of one Swimhunter. He turned his tentacled head to peer down. Something large rose toward them. Before he could call out a warning, a massive Deeplurker swam into their midst in a churn of frothing water.

Its grotesque tongue lolled as the enormous fish seized the smallest Swimhunter by the waist, teeth tearing into rubbery flesh. Another churn of water, and the Deeplurker descended into darkness with its prey.

The remaining Kulu Swimhunters scattered, fleeing in all directions, and the Praetorian fishing vessel sailed on, blissfully unaware of how close its crew had come to their demise.

Tell us about your lineup

My lineup is consists of 3 water monsters and 2 neutral monsters.

Did your strategy work?

Yes, all the monsters complement each other and build great chemistry on the battlefield.

What will you try differently next time?

I will add more powerful monsters as long as the ruleset allows it.

Do you like the DEEPLURKER? Why or why not?

Yes, it's a powerful water monster that has opportunity ability. However, I seldom use it due to the choices of water summoner and monster around.
