D&D Lore: Monster Lab - Aboleth (Ancient Aliens of the Deep)

In this week's Monster Lab we go in depth on the ancient aliens known as the aboleth, one of the more underrated of monsters in all of Dungeons and Dragons.

I have gathered the most astounding and insightful from the Candlekeep scholars of the Forgotten Realms, spanning across all six version of D&D.

Living embodiments of eldritch horror, the aboleth offer a level of complex narrative depth rivaled by few other creatures and yet are one of the least studied or understood, well today we fix that!

Its origins and lore of course. But we will also uncover some surprising and well hidden abolethic secrets from past editions of Dungeons and Dragons.

From the birth of gods and the apex of evolution, to the fetid bogs of the nine hells and world domination. The aboleth lore will surprise!

And I am confident most of you - maybe all of you - will learn something new today about the great aboleth!
