Congregating near "graveyards" of sunken ships and beached hulks, cutlers are the soggy, centuries-dead corpses of Ancient aquanauts reanimated by colonies of intelligent algae. Their quasi-living husks pulse with unholy radioactivity.
Cutlers feed on the fluids of their victims, which they leech through weedy, vampiric tendrils. A cutler with prey in its coils may still pummel other targets without penalty.
Cutlers can be communicated with via telepathy, but their dark thoughts are peppered with salty expletives from both human vernacular and the secret language of plants.
