Blibdoolpoolp is the deity worshipped by the kuo-toa race. She is also known as the "Sea Mother."
Description
[edit | edit source]Blibdoolpoolp usually takes the form of a 20-foot tall nude human female, with a lobster's head and claws in place of humanoid parts. At close range, her gaze causes insanity.
Relationships
[edit | edit source]Though the demon lord Dagon also has followers among the kuo-toa, Blibdoolpoolp's feelings on this are unknown.
Realm
[edit | edit source]Blibdoolpoolp's realm is called "The Murky Depths," and is located on the Elemental Plane of Water.
Worshipers
[edit | edit source]Blibdoolpoolp is worshiped chiefly by kuo-toa. It's been suggested that the froglike mother goddess worshiped by the grippli may be a more benign aspect of Blibdoolpoolp.
Clergy
[edit | edit source]Priests of the Sea Mother are called "whips" and wear pearl-colored vestments, shell helms, and drape themselves in nets as part of ceremonies.
Holy days and observances
[edit | edit source]Blibdoolpoolp's holy day is the new moon, and rituals are held in underwater shrines. Gems, pearls, humans, and lobsters (her sacred animal) are sacrificed to her monthly.
