In Sea Spawn, beings find themselves in over their heads (heh) in the ocean, but their lives are spared by the creatures that live below… but not for their own benefit.
According to Caduceus, sea spawn are not undead because they have never been allowed to die.
Those who are transformed into sea spawn are cursed to live out their lives underwater in the presence of a greater power, transforming into humanoids with a variety of aquatic mutations.
For level seven adventurers like The Mighty Nein, Sea Spawn are very easy to hit. Having a swim speed of 30 feet and the ability to perform melee attacks to a great extent gives them an advantage.
