Aboleths are large aberrational amphibian creatures living in deep underground or ocean waters. They exist since the beginning of time, remember everything thanks to their genetic memory while possessing fascinating and impressive psionic abilities.
They can either act alone, leading some lesser race, or live as broods, forming a group ruled by an Overseer. Aboleths very much enjoy feasting on intelligent brains, and not only for the substance but for the victim’s experiences and memories.
