Trenchteeth

==Trenchtooth (CR 4)==
Cruelly-hooked claws designed for rending and gutting latch onto a plank of the ship's hull. The rest of the creature - dark purple scales rippling beneath the water - latches onto the ship. Its crocodile-like mouth widens into a grin as it begins its grisly work.

Trenchteeth are violent, reclusive, and a bane to sailors across the planes. They migrate with ocean currents in schools of up to twenty at a time and prey on (or torment) anything that catches their fancy. Schools of Trenchteeth will find and attack traveling ships, latching onto the hull and tearing it apart with their claws, drowning and feasting on the sailors aboard. Many a sailor has met their doom listening to the scratching and tearing from below.
Trenchteeth have a simple, sadistic intelligence, consuming or tormenting anything that isn't another Trenchtooth — excepting Depth Dragons. Schools of Trenchteeth will attach themselves to a Depth Dragon if it permits, revereing it as a deity, following it as it migrates, and savagely defending its territory if it has one. Trenchteeth will offer sunken treasures, pearls, abalone, and sacrifices to their draconic patron. On rare occasions, enough Trenchteeth will worship the same dragon to become a storm of Trenchteeth — emboldening and empowering their patron dragon.
Trenchteeth regard each other indifferently at best; an injured Trenchtooth will be left behind if it cannot keep up with the school, but Trenchteeth have no inter-school violence or rivalry. All Trenchteeth protect their young out of tribal instinct, often carving tunnels for nurseries into underwater mountains or trenches.
