That kid is so cute.
What are some of the absolute worst things you can imagine an Aboleth doing? I've heard they can be pretty nightmarish...
>Arguably, there is still nothing to compete with them.
Umm Krakens and Aquatic dragons regularly kick the shit out of them...
They arent the only things at the top anymore hence why theyre pissed.

Nothing.
No, really, it's not doing anything.
If you knew about aboleths and the shit they did/do and you just find one in a random pool underground just chillaxing doing literally nothing? I'd be terrified as theres no ways its not doing some nefarious thing and its just not talking.
I don't care if its nappin while its billion year plan in the making is fermenting and all he has left to do is sit and wait for a millenia till it works out.
The problem with ancient abominations with millenial plots is that their INT and WIS are capped to GM score.

So,always 10
Often less so, especially in the latter case. Running a believable world is a precarious endeavour, precipitated on not showing the players the 'backstage' as it were. A villain intellectually superior to the one running it, and by orders of magnitude, requires warping the world to give an illusion of mental acuity beyond mortal aspiration. It's the hollywood genius problem: either make everyone else tassets-on-head retarded or rely on the audience not to apply reasoning to the world.
Nope. Aboleths have parent to child memory transfer, meaning each and every Aboleth remembers the genesis of every species because they/their ancestor witnessed it or they got told about it by another Aboleth who did. All except one. Illithids. They just turned up one day making their little city states and spreading their tentacles. This terrifies the shit out of Aboleths. These powerful psychic manipulators have the power to challenge Aboleths at their own game and /no/ /one/ /knows/ /where/ /they/ /came/ /from/.
