Making Murdermaw

[Warforged Goblin]

My players are just about done with Burnt Offerings and I'm giving them a few weeks in-game for downtime. One of my PCs wants to organize and help sponsor a fishing contest, with first prize going to the one who catches Murdermaw. Now is "red snapper" Golarion slang for some type of huge crimson-shelled aquatic turtle, or is the famed boat-eater just a large version of what my wife made for dinner last night?

Just?

Imagine something like that scaled up to the size of a rhino, and come back with "just"!

Check out ENWorld's monster update archive for the Giant Carp. Should do for your stat needs.

HA! Awesome picture. Yeah, for Old Murdermaw, I'd probably use stats for a dire shark. Or at the very least, a regular-issue Huge shark. He's bad news.

Just

Spoiler:

see I CAN listen to directions - do I get a cookie now?

I always assumed it was a nod to the Wormy cartoon with the giant fish eating one of the trolls:).

Ex-Cell-Ent! I've got something cooked up already. I'll post it after this Sunday's session (assuming we get to the fishing contest). It is indeed big and mean.
