FACTOID #151: The five countries with the highest coffee consumption are also the five countries whose citizens trust one another the most. Coincidence? Probably.
Chthonians are described in the Cthulhu Mythos tales as immense earth-bound squids, with elongated worm-like bodies coated with slime. Chthonians are powerful burrowers, live for more than a thousand years, and are protective of their young. It is said that a chanting sound accompanies every chthonian, and that by such they can be detected while underground and unseen.
"Flowing tentacles and pulpy gray-black, elongated sack of a body... no distinguishing features at all other than the reaching, groping tentacles. Or was there - yes - a lump in the upper body of the thing... a container of sorts for the brain, granglia, or whichever diseased organ governed this horror's loathsome life!" - Brian Lumley, "The Burrowers Beneath."
The most important individual chthonian is the gigantic Shudde M'ell, which is idolatred by the rest.
Resembling giant tentacle faced worms, the chthonians are subterrainian creatures who communicate via telepathy.
Detection Skill: Chthonians lack any recognisable sensory organs, but it is believed they rely on some form of magnetic sense.
When hit with water make a roll based on the ammount of water(ranging from 2d for a bucket, to 10d for full imersion) the chthonian suffers damage each round equal to the width of the roll.
