  • I love how you connected other creators video concepts into your hooks.
  • I got a super creepy/horror inspiration from this video thank you! Little scuttling crab type things that scurry away from the light, but when they finally amass enough numbers they attack a fishing village. The specific scene I look forward to sharing with my table is how one of the villages is running towards them in terror, one of the crab things leaps onto their back knocking them foreword onto the ground on their hands and knees. The party watches as the claws plunge into the villager's back, suddenly they jerk upright, as tentacles and claws burst out of their hands and feet, mouth and eyes. Then this new hybrid creature runs towards the players with an Eldritch screech. 😆

    We love some aquatic plot hooks. Also shouts out the kuo-toa :fish-orange-wide-eyes: I really like the concept of a half/malformed god who is in the process of being born into reality by the fish guys.
  • This also doubles as a "guide to kraken week" video and I'm here for it! Great vid! Also, you had me at hot Genasi summer 😂
  • @kquixotic
    I've found another great channel thanks to Kraken Week! You've got some great ideas here, with a PDF of them to boot. The threading-in of other creators is not only inspired but wholesome.
  • @WallyDM

  • @RdotDoyle
    Great adventure idea and great video! Love all the references to other Kraken Week goodness, plus Our Flag Means Death 🏴‍☠️
  • I feel sorry for mentioning land sharks on my last comment to you now! Great video awesome ideas will definitely be getting the pdf when I’m back at my pc. It did make me think about an idea I’d had some time ago around using the idea of diving bell spiders in a giant spider/drow sense of making an underwater city from spider silk and just massively upscaling pond critters as monsters
  • @shortreststudios
    I totally dig the Lovecraftian angle! This is great inspiration. And thanks so much for the shoutout!

    Fun fact... Acording to asían folklore... A 100 year old carp that passes the Dragon gate (a waterfall) will turn into a Yu Lung, a "larval" form that can transform into 1 of the 7 tipes of asian Dragon... So, you a koi mermaid can become a dragon mermaid
  • @TheUglyGoblin
