True Name:
ALU SHUHADAKHU, which roughly translates to “Barbed Demon”. ALU is used interchangeably
to mean either demon or spirit, and HU is lesser, which in this case implies a diminutive of the
word SHUHADAK, for sword, or bladed weapon.
Size:
Spiny Sea Demons range in size from four to six feet in height.

Merrow Tale (2012) - B.A. Lee
Description:
The Spiny Sea Demon are another feral form of degenerate Merrow. They are considered to
be lesser cousins of the true Merrow, and are shunned and chastised by their more advanced
brethren. They appear as hunched, twisted, skeletal fish men, whose forelimbs have degenerated
into grasping clawed appendages, much like some kind of aquatic praying mantis. They are
completely amphibious, but prefer the aquatic environs of swamps, marshes, and the deep ocean
where there is little sunlight. They are thin, wiry creatures, and are strong, capable swimmers.
Their scaly hide is adorned with hundreds of barbed protrusions, which makes any kind of close
contact with these beings dangerous and unpleasant. They are of limited intelligence, but can be
easily coerced by weak Summoners into a variety of simple tasks, such as intimidation and
retrieval.
