Jellyfish would be great-This reminds me of Man-O-Wars. Those things are just terrifying, even if they aren't really jellyfish.

And how about manta rays? They did for poor Steve Irwin, afterall. There's a vampiric version of them in D&D too, but the name is more or less unpronounceable, so maybe they could come in regular and undead varieties. Maybe they could be ocean flyers?

I've been wanting to mod in a nation that used undead Aboleths, huge size 6 trampling sea urchins, and giant immobile cone snail that shoot a poisoned harpoon at it's enemies, functioning like an underwater ballista, but so far haven't had the chance. Maybe if I can find my notes, I'll do a write up for it, like Partha. It's basically an underwater MA Aboleth nation that's based on the Mamluk Egyptian (pre 7th cruisade, 1249 ad.) Sultanate.
