Galvo

Creature 9 — aberration, amphibious

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

A galvo is a bizarre humanoid creature made up of electric eels-dozens of them, transmogrified into one cooperative, electrified body. The story of their creation is lost to antiquity, though their propensity for attacking sea devils and alghollthus suggests they might have been engineered by some enemy of these creatures. Modern galvos aren't choosy about their prey, and because they can operate as well on land as they do in the water, they enjoy feasting on aquatic creatures and land dwellers

Swarm Shape (concentrate) — The galvo collapses into a shapeless swarm of eels. It drops all held, worn, and carried items. While discorporated, the galvo can't use attack actions, but it can move through areas small enough for its individual eels to fit without having to Squeeze. It can use Swarm Shape again to coalesce back into its normal form.
