The kuo-toa are one of D&D’s most iconic fish… guys. They’re fish monster men and they’re here to ruin your day/start a cult/invent a new god or something!
Join me this week as we go over the kuo-toa leviathan, a creature that is the result of fish monster rituals and lovecraftian horror!

ALSO, I totally forgot to mention this and didn't have time to add it in the video, but Stephanie Plays Games did a video for Kraken Week with a ton of aquatic encounter ideas and had some REALLY cool stuff to say about using kuo-toa in a campaign! Go check her video out here and show some love! – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnXEuW8yUec&t=1s
20:31 again, screw kraken week, after dnd did what they did, we needed a community let coming together moment, yet you guys just used it to benefit yourselves, it’s really a shame you guys forgot who you were before the fame, shame on all of you, especially pointy hat and Ginny d for leading it
they are literally deep ones from cthulhu and so insane i love them. one of my top 3 favorite races! also. the leviathan toa, i gave him the ability to not only scoop up smaller toas but to shoot them like a spit wad. they show up spitting them out in a cone of 40 ft and he keels a couple of em for spit wad shots….
Blibdoolpoolp, Blibdoolpoolp's so badddd… Sorry, just weird naming that made me think of Ctulhu's so Bad a spoof by Beataliica
😂Hewlett Packard, the NSA monster of the week
I LOVE Blipdoolploop's name! I can't say where but I read the name came from purposely making it sound like bubbling water and have embraced that as a pronunciation guide. So fun to say!!!
glub glub
A Kuo Toa Leviathan vs Aboleth fight would be epic. Kaiju battles are rad. Krakens are a bit tougher on average but a younger kraken would probably be a close enough fight
I like that in the cover art the guy is doing the surfer dude symbol🤙
Kua-Toa my beloved ❤️
Are you okay? It looks like you have a black eye.
This channel has introduced me to a lot of cool monsters, so I'd like to return the favor: you should research the Gem Dragons for a future video. My favorite of them is the Obsidian Dragon, though I think what little lore it got in 2E and 3E didn't do a good job of exploring the concept of a psionic, fire-breathing dragon with a god-like inellect, primarily because the Obsidian Dragons were a victim of the rather rigid morality system of old DnD which pigeonholed all Obsidian Dragons into being le evil mustache twirling villains even though realistically, their immense minds should if anything, make them more alien cosmic entities than outright evil. Leave it to WotC to invent something as cool as Obsidian Dragons only to completely forget about them for 20 years.
10:32 HEY
I really wish the Kuo-Toa you meet in bg3 really could impact the ending to some degree based on your dialogue choices. Would have been funny if they created a secret ending.
I hope Wizards of the coast Call you up to put a page or 2 in their monster Manual. You do really cool dives into so many creatures
Cool video but it´s that black eye, you okay bro?
An episode on the yitzan would be fun. On top of just outright being a xenomorph, it’s also mimic-like in the best way.
I used a Demi-god chuul as the god of the Kua-toa cult in my campaign
Are we really going to glaze over the fact that the kuo toa are just water orks? 😅
Imagine a city of Kuo-Toa leviathans.
so why do PCs who end up in this ting's gut take acid damage, but not fellow kuo toa?
So much fun n_n
Would so love to plug this into my leviathan skill tree 😀
Is this not a part of kraken week?
Good on you for not using Ai to make your Angelfish Kuo-toa!
Warcraft did them better imho
Umberlee is the only true sea goddess.
One of my players rolled a 26 on a history check and I had to improvise some lore about a fish cult. I made the mistake of calling their deity "the great swallower", but at least I can just use the leviathans stats for it now.
