Dashilla

Dashilla is a Sea Fury who inhabits the Lucidian Ocean. Her lair is located within the Swavain Islands region of the Menagerie Coast, in a place known as the Diver's Grave. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Dashilla has aqua green skin and a bulbous unnaturally proportioned form, at the end of her arms are long vicious claws. Her Long dark hair often falls across much of her face which has no nose and a mouth full of protruding angler fish like teeth. Often glaring from behind her hair can be seen two yellow eyes, one half closed and one wide open.

Personality
Dashilla, as with all hags is viscious and cruel. She had a penchant for collecting the shiny objects from the ships she sank and horded them within her lair. She also displayed great cunning and patience through many of the actions she took; Such as baiting the front of her laire with treasure and flickering light to attract Merrow prey for use in her rituals, and by remaining hidden whilst enscorcelling multiple members of the Mighty Nein during their travel through her lair. Upon being greviously injured she had the presence of mind to flee and hide until the danger had gone.

Background
Dashilla has plagued the Diver's Grave for an unknown length of time, but it has been long enough for myths and legends of her to spring up in the folklore of the Menagerie Coast such as the poems Jester Lavorre had read and the sea shanty Sorris Cade sang. Using an ancient but very powerful magical ritual to summon fierce storms above the waters of the Diver's Grave, she has sunk countless ships over the time she has inhabited the area.

The Mighty Nein encounter Dashilla within her lair in the Diver's Grave. Though she is able to initially knock a terrified Caleb unconscious with her death glare and manipulate Fjord into attacking his allies with forced division, the battle eventually turns against her and she is forced to flee and hide after becoming severely injured.

Some time after the Mighty Nein leave Dashilla's lair upon successfully recovering the Cloven Crystal in her possession, but ultimately failing to locate and finish off the injured Sea Fury. Dashilla comes out of hiding and finishes the ritual that Caleb and Fjord had partially completed on the runic table within her lair. The completed ritual subsequently summons a fierce storm above the Diver's Grave that barely misses the Squall-Eater and its crew, and may have very well sunk the ship if it had stayed at the Diver's Grave any longer.

Relationships
Dashilla acted on her own and showed no evidence of being involved with a coven. She showed no meaningful relations with anyone other than the local Merrow population, whom she preyed upon to power her rituals.
