Special Abilities[]
Aquatic: Nommos cannot breathe air or survive on dry land. They begin suffocating after a number of rounds equal to twice their Con score.
Big Hands: A nommo can wield a one-handed melee weapon as though it was a light weapon. Light weapons, two-handed weapons, and oversized weapons are not affected by this ability.
Superficially, nommos appear as hulking brutes. They have massive and grotesque humanoid torsos with a catfish-like head, including fishy eyes and a large mouth filled with sharp teeth. Their lower half is eel-like; it consists of a long, flat muscular tail trimmed with fins at the top and bottom.
