D6 | This lake monster looks like |
---|
1 | a classic plesiosaurian. |
2 | a ningen out of Japanese urban legend, a pale and flabby mermaidish thing of giantish stature. |
3 | a great serpent, or eel, or worm, no feature distinguishing enough to comfortably identify it as one or another. |
4 | some bastard offspring of nautilus and sea urchin, tentacled and spiny. |
5 | the ambiguous rotten sludge of a globster, bones juxtaposed in exo- and endoskeletal positions. |
6 | a limbless, eyeless toad or newt of gargantuan size, a warty gaping hulk. |
D6 | This lake monster is |
---|
1 | a shadow-organism which slipped through a crack in the lakebed to a deep aquifer-biome. |
2 | a forgotten god, and without regular contact with humanity it has dwindled in power and lost its human form. |
3 | the result of an epigenetic metamorphosis implanted in early humanity by agents unknown, and triggered in an unfortunate swimmer by an improperly-disposed-of Cold War-era bioweapon. |
4 | an extraterrestrial entity whose impact into the planet first carved out its lake. |
5 | something that was originally an actual hoax, but initial belief in it provided the "skin" for a Qlippothic unentity to wear in reality. |
6 | the monstrous child born to a cursed local family of some renown, spared infanticide by its pitying aunt. |
D6 | The lake where this lake monster dwells |
---|
1 | sits in a maar, and is unusually warm & sulphurous. |
2 | was extended into a jagged line by water seeping into a tectonic rift. |
3 | is regularly roiled by winds into devastating waves. |
4 | is far deeper than it is wide, plunging to lightless and lifeless depths. |
5 | is home to a libertarian crew of pseudo-seasteaders who maintain a settlement on a clutch of lashed-together boats and pontoons and adrift docks. |
6 | is choked with algae bloomed from agricultural run-off. |
D6 | Reports of this lake monster are typically blamed on |
---|
1 | an escaped circus elephant that went for a swim. |
2 | a crashed hot air balloon. |
3 | the homemade submarine of an eccentic millionaire. |
4 | a tree toppled and blown into the lake by a heavy wind. |
5 | fish that got out from a now-defunct fish farm which once operated in the lake, the stock of which were given an experimental growth hormone. |
6 | inconsiderate scuba divers. |
D6 | This lake monster exhibits the anomalous ability |
---|
1 | of an infrasonic groan that drives those who hear it into a paroxysm of thirst, driving them to shove their heads into toilets or leap into the lake to slake it. |
2 | to control the water around it, as well as the watery weather - clouds & fogs & suchlike, but not so much winds. |
3 | to inject people with a virus that turns them into subservient hybrids. |
4 | to subconsciously influence people who sleep near its lake through their dreams. |
5 | of being able to exhale a cloud of suffocating poison. |
6 | of psychic shapeshifting - not actually changing its physical form, but changing in the perception of others into any organism that inhabited its lake. |
D6 | This lake monster is studied by |
---|
1 | a tweed-clad & stuttering local folklorist who is secretly a serial killer who drowns their victims (mostly tourists) to appease the monster. |
2 | the ex-hippie leader of a group of gross old swingers, who believes the monster to be an avatar of the feminine power of water and the age of Aquarius. |
3 | a marine biology student who doesn't quite believe in the monster, but thinks promoting it is a good way to raise awareness of aquatic ecosystems. |
4 | the research team of a biopharmaceutical company, operating illegally in the belief that the profit they could make off the monster far outweighs the risk of bypassing government regulation. |
5 | a rising star artist who exclusively paints glimpses he's caught of the monster. |
6 | a Catholic priest who believes it to be a devil which slipped out of a river of Hell, and seeks to exorcise it. |
