The Harpers' Read

A merrow is an ogre gone to the deep sea — huge, vicious, and most dangerous near the water's edge. Its trick is the harpoon and reel: it spears a victim and drags them off their feet and into the water to drown. Often it fights as a hag's thrall rather than of its own will. Keep off the rail, cut the line, and remember that a freed merrow may be no enemy at all.

Encounters of Record

Bound as a Sea Hag's thralls in the haunted waters north; freed when the hag died, they turned grateful (39).
