Unofficial Description: Chuul appear as nightmare horse-sized crustaceans.

 3.5e lore  ^{[SRD3 OGL]}  

A horrible mix of crustacean, insect, and serpent, the chuul is an abomination that lurks submerged or partially submerged, awaiting intelligent prey to devour. Although amphibious, chuuls are not good swimmers and actually prefer to be on land or in very shallow water when they attack. A chuul is about 8 feet long and weighs 650 pounds.
