Dungeons & Dragons Unveils a Stunning Redesign of the Iconic Aboleth Monster

In a recent YouTube video showcasing various aberrations and oozes from the new Monster Manual, Dungeons & Dragons revealed a dramatic redesign of the classic monster, the aboleth. Traditionally depicted as a fish-like creature with three eyes, the new artwork by Kev Walker transforms the aboleth into a towering mass of tentacles with a gaping maw. While it retains its three vertically-lined eyes, they are now triangular and appear much more abhorrent.
