Notes | The amphibious duocanth is vaguely reptilian in nature, with a mottled hide. Atop a short dumpy body is a crescent-shaped head, with eyes spaced evenly around the outer curve of the crescent. The beast's shark-like mouth is just below the crescent rim. Around the base of the body sprout six boneless limbs. By tradition, three of them are termed "tentacles". These three are long, muscular, and ridged for gripping. The other three are termed "tails". These three are shorter, stouter, with a cluster of spikes near the end, plus a stinger-tip. The scales on the duocanth's body are huge and spiny. |
