A fearsome merfolk champion with a piercing gaze and a large bundle of javelins.

Again at length my thought reviving came,
When I no longer found my self the same;
Then first this sea-green beard I felt to grow,
And these large honours on my spreading brow;
My long-descending locks the billows sweep,
And my broad shoulders cleave the yielding deep;
My fishy tail, my arms of azure hue,
And ev'ry part divinely chang'd, I view.

Useful Info

Merfolk javelineers are powerful merfolk who inhabit the Shoals. They hurl javelins and throwing nets with great force.

Tips & Tricks

  • They often carry branded javelins, so characters looking for good throwing weapons should stop by the Shoals.
  • These monsters deal a lot of damage, so stay away if you have low EV. Repel Missiles or Deflect Missiles is recommended. They're not quite as bad as deep elf master archers, but they tend to appear in greater numbers and with more friends.
  • Javelineers often carry silver ammunition. Transmuters and the heavily mutated should expect heavy damage output from these.
  • Unlike most ranged combatants, merfolk javelineers won't stop chucking javelins at you if you close into melee range. If you have a way to deal damage from a distance, do so to avoid having to charge through a rain of javelins.
