Description and lore
A tusked aquatic ambusher waits beneath dark water, announcing itself with a cry that seems to belong farther away. Its escape route is the water behind it.
Reeds hide a narrow passage between water and mud. A deep hollow at the bank holds the shape of a heavy resting body.
The cry travels farther than the ripples. By the time it fades, the dark water close to shore has begun to move.

A long cry drifts across the water. The reeds nearest your boots part, and a wet tusk breaks the surface.
