| The Animal sphere of spells may only be used to control or summon aquatic animals Blibdoolpoolp was defeated and cast out of her former place of power in the same era that the Kuo-Toa were driven underground; her priests seek vengeance for this act All shrines are near or under water, preferably fresh Many priests of the Sea Mother are priest/thieves -- including most of the higher-level priests Some tribes of degenerate humans still worship the Sea Mother -- it is rumored that they have Kuo-Toan blood, and that the Kuo-Toa themselves were once human or part-human |

| Background | ||
| The degenerate Kuo-Toan worship their sole remaining goddess: Blibdoolpoolp, the Sea Mother. It is rumored that they worshipped other, darker gods before their descent into the depths of Oerth. She is also worshipped by a few humans in remote areas (along the lines of "The Dunwich Horror", and it is rumored that these tribes have interbred with the Kuo-Toan line. Blibdoolpoolp is not interested in much of anything these days, but her priesthood is actively courting her age-old resentments against the surface dwellers, in hopes of someday attaining vengeance. | ||
