This god appears as a large red-bearded man.

His main attribute is the power to call on any non-godlike creature of the sea to fight for him at any time and in numbers up to 50.
These creatures must, however, get to the battle under their own power.
He is immune to any type of magickal device attack while in salt water.

He commonly goes into battle wearing +5 armor of sea shells.

He uses a trident that absorbs moisture from the bodies that it hits (draining 0.25 of the total amount of the vitim's original hit points).

Retaliator: When fighting his enemies, the fire giants, he uses a sword called Retaliator, that kills every time it hits (magic saving throw applicable),
and does 3-30 points of damage (plus strength bonus) even if the save is made.
