Merriod

Merriod is a monster found in the Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) base game.

Description

Lurking beneath the lakes, streams, and swamps of Terrinoth, merriods use their powerful, flexible tentacles to immobilize their prey. They then squeeze the life out of them or, if feeling particularly cruel, eat them while still alive. The flailing tentacles of a merriod are a hazard to even the most seasoned adventurer.
