Root water

Inspired by the yugioh card of the same name, by konami

'An amphibian capable of calling up a massive tidal wave from the dark seas to wipe out enemy monsters.'


Another overblown report of a creature that can do far more than it's form would appear; the root water is little more than an aggressive pest. It has a sharp bite; but the prepared will be able to deal with one or two mostly unscathed. On land that is-for in water that is an entirely different kettle of fish.
