Description Drowner is a creature from Slavic mythology. The drowners are undead formed from people that... drowned. How unexpected.  They are usually portrayed as boring green-skinned watery humanoids, blah. My brain, of course, knew better. This vision of Drowner is heavily modified aquatic ambush predator While it still has overall morphology of a human body he's heavily asymmetric with one arm being  ridiculously large while the rest of the body works just for anchoring it to the bottom of the river/lake; the fingers of hypertrophic arm as well as the legs are gnarled and twisted resembling branches of a submerged, downed tree which helps the creature ambush it's prey successfully.  It is completely blind relying on vibrations caused by the arrival of the prey.

Ummm.... your version makes a lot more sense. Let me guess, it stays still and mimics tree roots until someone careless enough approaches, then grasps them and drowns them in the river. Nasty fellow.

Btw, what does the name sound like in Polish?

Mostly Utopiec but there is a ton of local names pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopiec

And yeah, it pretty much hunts like a crocodile with the hand instead of jaws. XD

I was wondering because I couldn't figure how to turn "drowner" back into slavic. So this original name now reminds me of the name of those duckies: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia… (Or "potapnica" .... though I'm not sure whether the c is ch or ts in Polish In the ducky name it's ts.)

Hah, why, a duck drowning travelers would be also neat. Imagine this sweet cute fluffy thing, looking so innocent and then.... oh, did I mention that some of them have strikingly red eyes? m3.netinfo.bg/media/images/177… That looks pretty evil :3

Pffft, said so cliché though XD

Slavic mythology you say? Is it at all related to the Rusalka?

I don't think the two types of creatures have any special connection..

I mean they're both undead (?) mythological creatures that drown unsuspecting people.

Drowned .

Although technically, the minecraft versions are more along the lines of the slavic mythology traditional version than your redesign. Or just reskinned zombie that can swim .
