Common eurypterid
The common eurypterid is, like its name suggests, the most prolific variety of eurypterid to be found in Golarion's oceans.1
On Golarion
These dog-sized aggressive aquatic predators live along the western coast of Garund, where they terrorize sailors and coastal land-dwellers alike. A single sting from a common eurypterid can kill small children or the elderly, although a human-sized specimen is hardy enough to make short work of its prey with its sharp pincers instead.1
Some sea captains have experimented with using common eurypterids instead of cats to control rat infestations on their ships. However, this often comes at the price of crew members losing fingers to the aggressive arthropods.1
As food
The meat of common eurytperids, which turns gelatinous when cooked, is a staple for people in Golarion's marshlands where it is well-suited to spicy stews.2
