Aboleths are described as being one of the world’s oldest forms of life, huge aquatic beings who ruled early civilisations and keep other creatures as slaves. Aboleth civilisations can be found in cities at the bottom of the sea, but aboleths can also be encountered as solitary creatures in the underearth realms.
