Lotho is an oddity even amongst the odd inhabitants of Whaler’s Cove. Whether as some blessing from the deep gods, or a magical accident, he sports a lantern-like bulb upon his brow, along with the typical Fish-themed features of the villagers.

Otherwise, Lotho is unremarkable - stocky and foul-smelling, his transformation giving him a toad-like appearance. Despite this, he provides a valuable service to the village, using the glowing growth to mesmerise and paralyse the villager’s captives, preparing them for the cult’s rituals.
