It then lashes out with its long whiskerlike tentacles. If successful, it drags its foe below the water and begins to attack it. \n'b' Description \n'b'  Dangerous Guardians . Lurkers are popular as guardians; wizards, warlords, merchants and others who desire security and privacy often place them in moats, pools and water-based traps. Live lurkers fetch up to 500 gp each, but capturing them is a dangerous proposition, and would-be lurker hunters often end up as a meal for their intended prey. Unlike most normal fishes, lurkers seem to easily adapt to either saltwater or freshwater conditions.'
