Monster: Grell

Monster: Grell

Grells are aberrations akin to the aboleths or mind flayers. They look like floating brains with tentacles and sharp beaks. Primarily underground dwellers, they pose a grave danger to adventurers that rely on short melee weapons, as ten clawed poisoned paralyzing constricting tentacles are nothing to laugh at.
