Nautillery

Water Bolt

A nautillery is a large nautilus-like creature approximately eight feet in diameter. It takes its name from the forceful jets of water that it can propel at great range from its claw-like mouth, which are powerful enough to blow holes in the sides of ships, as artillery and siege weaponry could. Though nautillery are not technically amphibious, they can hold their breath for up to three hours at a time, which, in combination with their clawed legs, allow them to occasionally venture beyond shallow waters and onto coastal lands to hunt crustaceans for food. Nautillery are low-intelligence creatures that are fiercely defensive of their territory, and often mistake the hulls of passing ships as potential predators, causing them to aggressively defend themselves and making them a serious threat to sailors. More intelligent species such as merrow, merfolk, and others have been known to train and domesticate nautillery to use them as living siege weapons.
