This elder thing cannot recall when or where it first encountered the immense, unfathomable mind of the Current. The touch of the powerful wave of thoughts from the Maddening God had a profound effect on the creature—now somewhat insane, it was commanded to travel to the Vast Swamp and re-consecrate a temple that had fallen into ruin. Located close to a large swath of rare plants whose pollen and spores caused a soporific effect on humanoids and animals, some creatures near the shrine found it possible to reach out to the presence of the Current while in dreams induced by the spores. With a leader among them the site quickly became considered holy to the Current and its worshippers, a place of pilgrimage for its insane followers. The elder thing’s alien interest in creating lasting works of architecture has resulted in it converting some of the local fey creatures to the Current, imparting various amphibious abilities that aid in their tasks of rebuilding and expanding the church submerged in the swamp close to the Dreaming Fields.

This wolverine’s eyes possess the unmistakable glint of intelligence and its mouth seems to twitch as if it were about to laugh.

Their savage nature and the ability to travel anywhere in the swamp make fey wolverines ideal guards and soldiers for the elder thing.

5E Rules

In place of the elder thing, use the “Mind Flayer Arcanist” variant with the addition of the amphibious quality, a 20 ft. fly speed, and a 40 ft. swim speed. For the amphibious fey wolverines, use the “Hook Horror” entry with the addition of the amphibious quality, 20 ft. burrow speed, and 30 ft. swim speed.
