A cave fisher is a lobster-like monster which inhabits subterranean locations and ambushes its prey using a sticky filament similar to a strand of giant spider silk. Cave fishers grow to about seven feet (2.1 meters) long and have a hard, chitinous shell arranged in overlapping plates for an exoskeleton.It has eight legs and two forelimbs that end in large pincers. Living underground, cave fishers are sightless creatures that use multiple auditory sensor organs to detect prey. These organs are located on the head and could be mistaken for multiple eyes. The creature has a large proboscis from which it shot a long (up to 60 feet or 18 meters) sticky filament.The cave fisher hid on ledges above passageways and hunts by emitting a long strand of sticky filament, either dangling it to catch passing creatures such as bats, or shooting it at a creature as it wanders by. They can also secrete their adhesive onto their feet and anchor themselves to a ledge, wall, or ceiling once they found a good hunting spot.To release themselves, they secret a substance from their proboscis that contained their blood that dissolved the adhesive.Cave fishers can attack any creature up to man-sized, but was intelligent enough to avoid large groups, preferring to pick off scouts, loners, and stragglers. On a successful attack, the victim is stuck to the cave fisher's filament and is slowly drawn up to the cave fisher's level where it is attacked with the two front pincers. Cave fishers can reel in victims weighing up to 200 or possibly 400 lbs (91 to 182 kg). Their filament is very difficult to cut, sometimes even requiring a magically enhanced blade, and any failure to do so results in the blade being stuck fast. Cave fishers have flammable blood and therefore were very adverse to fire. Casting silence on a cave fisher makes it freeze in place as it listens intently, attacking only (and much less effectively) if it is attacked first. Instinct: Consume

Whatever the Hated Pretender did he's likely been punished for it long since. He was converted into an undead and undying parody of himself by a sect of fanatically lawful warrior priests and placed in the prison to be tormented by Phantasms of Vengeance trapped with him. The Pretender can be destroyed by normal means, but his battered limbs will reform and his unlife will return the night after he is 'killed' unless his body is burnt and the ashes scattered or purified with unholy water. The Hated Pretender is a pitiful undead wretch, who despite retaining a normal intelligence, has been driven several varieties of insane and barely remembers his previous life as some sort of monarch. The Pretender's torturers were successful in tormenting him to madness and the thing lives in constant, overpowering fear of being burned and shredded by the Phantasms (having had this happen to him numerous times). He appears as an obviously unwell man: skeletal, stooped, with wild hair and beard, parched crackling skin, open wounds that ooze only crusted brown ichor and huge bright green eyes. He wears the cast off remnants of peasants' clothing (from a more recent victim) and a comical "crown" constructed of small animal bones, bird feathers, twigs and bits of thread.He is not actually aggressive, but the Phantasms require light to manifest he is equally afraid of light as he is in phantasms. The Pretender becomes agitated in the presence of light, fleeing to a dark area if possible and launching a furious attack with his claw like hands and unholy strength on anyone carrying a light if trapped.
