Neptune Society Encounters

A comprehensive list of monsters, cultists, and otherworldly creatures encountered throughout the history of the Neptune Society.

## Season 1

### Weird Tales of The Sea

#### The Thing in the Hold

* An unnamed oceanic being that resembled a gigantic horned fish with webbed arms and a huge open throat that opened and closed with a valve. The being was worshiped by the locals of an uncharted Melanesian island.

#### Robert Castillo

* "Sunday" was a native to the island who at least appeared to be a strong human man. Upon close inspection, all of his teeth were filed into fangs and his body art matched the sacrificial designs in the island's temple.
* The "fish men", humanoids with frog-like faces and pitch-black skin covered in slime. Every year they received a human sacrifice in exchange for bringing a bountiful harvest of fish to the island they chose to dwell near.

#### The Mighty Lusca

* Captain Herod was a temperamental man with a peg leg and a nasty temper. He was determined to find the lusca and threatened Alma when he found her rifling in his quarters. It became clear that he had knowledge in the occult, owning unusual jewelry matching that of the frog men and a book of Chtulhu mythos as well as attacking Alma through magic.

* The Lusca, a monstrous whale-like creature of Caribbean lore with gnashing teeth, tentacles, multiple mouths, and multiple eyes clustered together. It is rumored to eat other whales and was able to repair grievous injuries in moments.

#### The Call of the Gold Bug

* Atticus Pluto, a man descended from the Kiowa tribe whose mission is to prevent William Fawn's resurrection. He had occult knowledge and the ability to cast offensive spells.
* William Fawn, a notorious pirate and warlock whose soul was inside a golden scarab. He clawed his way out of the earth

#### The Lazarus

* The corpse-man, an incredibly tall figure stitched together from human remains. The creature stole the body of Captain Alistair Dalton to perform an unknown ritual.

### Dread Expectations

#### The Twisting Streets of London

* Sergeant Fluke, a cop known for grabbing street kids and taking them to workhouses. Sgt. Fluke had eyes set unusually wide apart and was always inexplicably wet. Using the magic lens, Lord Billiam discovered that Fluke was not human but a Deep One hybrid. Fluke was part of the Order of Dagon and later fully transformed into a Deep One.
* The wraiths, faceless robed humanoids that seemed to incite negative emotions in people. They could only be seen using the lilac lens and were attracted to intense emotion.

* Professor Constantin Cain, an occultist known as the Swedenborg of crime due to his use of magic to commit crimes.

#### The Purloined Lens

* An orangutan with a razor. It was controlled by Professor Cain, using a magic whistle, to break into the Neptune Society headquarters and kidnap Scraps and Lord Billiam. The orangutan was killed by Archibald.

#### Leak House

* The Esoteric Order of Dagon, the Neptune Society's only official enemy and a rival occult organization that was a fish-worshiping cult. Their symbol was a triangle in a circle with undulating lines radiating from its center, giving the impression of a tentacled eye.

### The Eldritch Continent

#### Part 1

* A barbary lion that attacked the party. The lion had strange tumors on its body and bled honey.

#### Part 2

* The gula, a group of ghouls that ruled the mountain and were greatly feared by the locals. They were jackal-like ape creatures with high intelligence and regularly stole bodies to eat from the nearby village. In episode 28 (*The Earth is a Box of Bees, Part 1*) it was revealed they were Mangani.

* Quentin Ferrymore, despised elder brother of Quincy Ferrymore. Quentin was believed to have died in a shipwreck but had actually survived and became a ghoul. He believe himself immortal after an experience with the Eye of Nitocris and seemed to be correct as he revived from multiple gunshots at close range. He was finally defeated when the party killed him again and then dismembered and burned his body.

### The Ghosts of Neptune

#### Part 1

* Horta was a myterious Dutchman with several missing fingers who sold Lady Hypatia a property containing items from her father. He was a Teutonic knight in The Brotherhood of the Dragon and apparently immortal or undead.

#### Part 2

* Three Dutch prisoners were held at the farm the party investigated. One of the prisoners was Horta and they were all depicted as knights in the ancient text of the Revelations of the Dragon.
* The Great Dragon, an ancient creature made of blood and raw flesh summoned when the blood of men filled its resting place. The dragon's presence could amplify negative emotions and cause conflict to induce bloodshed.

### The Resurrection Man

#### Part 1

* The corpse-man of episode 5 (*The Lazarus*) returned to get Dr. McCorquodale's unwilling help in creating a companion for himself. He terrorized the party, threatening their loved ones until they agreed to help him. Wiggles dubbed him "Henry" and was able to destroy him using the Necronomicon.
* Wilma summoned a Deep One to aid the party and it slaughtered everyone on *The Nereus* before attempting to take Wilma to safety.

### The Pnakotic Sonata

#### Part 1

#### Part 2

* A winged creature with articulated eyes and clumping limbs was seen at Gilman Publishing after it massacred several members of the Order of Dagon. The creature made flute-like noises from the top of its head and seemed immune to fire. It came to our world through a portal that Orlando had opened by playing "O Come the Rapture" on a violin and could be appeased by the music. The group realized it was an Old One, the first lifeforms to come to Earth from the stars.

#### Part 3

* Edwin Alvaro, a musician and friend of Orlando, appeared to perform at the concert where the Order of Dagon's sacrifice was to be made. When Wilma fell on him from the rafters, it was revealed that Alvaro was no longer human but made of ooze and multiple body parts. Alvaro said he had been acknowledged for his potential and transformed, merged with the former slaves of the Old Ones. Alvaro's consciousness was destroyed by Wilma, who used the spell she learned from the Necronomicon.

### First General Meeting

* Orlando Robicheaux, former member of the Neptune Society and servant of the Old Ones, appeared in the guise of his former self and destroyed the Society's headquarters.

## Season 2

### Dreams in Bedlam

#### Part 1

* Norman Densmore was a sorcerer and teacher to the founders of the Neptune Society. His immense power became a threat so his students turned on him and cast a spell to make him forget who he was. Captain Middlemass tasked Lady Hypatia to reapply the same magic to prevent Densmore from wreaking havoc on the world.
* Using the lilac lens, Roxy was able to see a bat-like creature with curved horns and a barbed tail that was following the party. More of the creatures appeared in Part 3.

### The Hunt for Green October

#### Part 1

* A submarine with unearthly speed and alien design was encountered by the party. (Submarines weren't invented by the time of the adventure, making it an impossible technical advancement)

#### Part 2

* The submarine was led by Captain Arkan, a Deep One hybrid leading several other Deep Ones and hybrids to the ruins of Atlantis so he could transform into his final form.

### The Secret Masters

* Pemberton Polcross saw several supernatural creatures including the yellow robed wraiths and devas. Casting a powerful spell, he summoned a spirit from the earth made of stones, gems, and a mass of tentacles.

* The spirit of Nitocris appeared when Helen Klein touched her ancient throne and attempted to possess her.

* Several dinosaurs were seen in the Inner Earth.

#### Part 3

* Thawn, a worshiper of Mordiggian, was discovered on the way to the ziggurat. She appeared as a beautiful human women with flowing hair, white robes, and a medallion with an Eye of Mordiggian. She appeared to have telepathic powers, somehow mentally communicating with the party despite their language barriers. When she was attacked by Helen Klein, she revealed her true form to be humanoid serpent.
* Mordiggian was summoned by Helen through Ian Pembley's body, Ian having been infected by the god's essence from his use of the Eye. The god took the shape of a swarm of bees that devoured the creatures in its presence and grew stronger when it broke open any Eyes of Mordiggian.

### The Toymaker of York

#### Part 1

* Clarence Bulmer, a man with a chin strap beard, was noted to have spoken with Ludlow sometime before his death. Frannie spotted the man with two other companions and, using the lilac lens, saw his face unravel to reveal a mass of eldritch organisms. He also conversed in a faint ticking noise that could be heard while using the lens. He, along with many others, were automatons made from corpses.

### Little Ragnarök on the Prairie

* John Bender Jr. was a huge fan of Pemberton Polcross and implied to be of the Bloody Benders.
* The people of Vigil seemed to be living effigies of the Aesir, with their leader being a one-eyed man and several locals matching up with other figures including Thor, Tyr, and Baldur. Every villager had come to Kansas through a difficult three-year journey that decimated their numbers and they were prophesied to face Jörmungandr as their ancestors before them.
* When Professor Jorgenson unwittingly opened the Bifrost, it summoned several shoggoths and a massive worm-like creature the villagers claimed to be Jörmungandr.

### The Horns of Samhain

#### Part 1

* A gigantic creature with horns and hooves was glimpsed passing behind a cabin. The creature appeared to be a demon that was summoned through a ritual.
