Ancient creatures from before the world was formed. They hate all of reality, especially the gods, wizards, and magic. Three of them infiltrated the Rockwell family, lured Linistreya Rockwell to them, sent a large military force of sahuagin to attack Cognitutus, and enticed the SPI agents to bring two Relics—the Lamp of Seeming, and the Cornucopia in Hornblade form—to their lair. The SPI defeated them, destroyed their lair, and rescued Lini.

Chronicle

11e03

The agents broke free of the madness in Rockwell Manor and slew the aboleth behind it, but not before its mucus cloud cursed Freki to breathe only water.

11e07

In the aboleths’ phantom temple, a magical orb broadcast psionic temptations to each agent, and fish-food creatures came through the walls; Callie, using the Trident of Fish Command, realized they were all parts of one giant fish creature, with her mother somewhere inside it.

Their psychological tactics turned the agents against each other, and they held the temple and a giant monster together with their will. Once Erathis shattered their illusions, Freki ripped the two aboleths apart, and their realm dissolved into a barfy mess.

16e04

In a vision, an aboleth’s seed grew in Callie’s mother; as Callie pierced it, it screamed in her mind that “all is as it must be.” It told Audreth, “You are already dead, but you do not know,” and slithered away.
