Possible Inspiration for the Aboleth?


3.5/d20/OGL


Snooping around the Internet, bored, I stumbled upon this illustration.

The site it is on says it is an illustration by one Anthony Saris, adapted from work by Fred Freeman, and dates to 1964.

I can't help but notice how Aboleth-like this is, with the row of eyes and general fishiness. Makes me wonder if this was an inspiration to the D&D folks who created that creature?
