This section contains Potential-canon info, revealed by the creators from never-published sources |
Monster Manual II
Characters with ranks in Knowledge (nature) can learn more about kopru. When a character makes a successful skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.
DC Result 16 This vaguely eel-like creature with barbed tails, clawed arms, and four tentacles on its face is a kopru, a sinister denizen of the deep. This result reveals all monstrous humanoid traits and the aquatic subtype. Kopru speak Aquan and a local language.
21 In addition to their vicious claws and bites, kopru attempt to wrap their tails around their foes, constricting them as they continue the attack.
26 Once per day, a kopru can use dominate person on a foe up to sixty paces away. Although a fearsome melee combatant in water, a kopru is nearly helpless on land.
31 Kopru were once masters of a grandiose underwater civilization, but their society has degenerated over time. Some sages believe kopru may be distantly related to mind flayers.
