A strange and enigmatic creature, the Caller of the Depth stand at about 7 feet tall and barely a hundred pound. They possess gaunt blackened humanoid bodies covered in algae and scales. However instead of a human head is an entire oversize jellyfish, with long outstretched tentacles ready to deliver a deadly poison. They are surprisingly fast and deadly, delivering potent toxin to debilitate their target. 

The Callers are hostile to human presence, attacking and capturing them, killing those they cannot take. Once a Caller of the Depth has captured a creature, it is usually sacrificed on a seaside altar to please whatever creature they worship.
