A troglodyte resides

metal weaponry.
Troglodyte:
AC 5; MV 12”; HD 2; hp 9; #AT 1; D 2–5 and 1–8
(battle
axe) or 1–6 (javelin); SA revulsion
odor; SD camouflage,

on a 1–4 on 1d6.
<THACO 16>
<XP 54>
The troglodyte notices
adventurers approaching if they trigger the
trap in area

If alerted, the troglodytes
(including the 2 in area 59) hunker
down and try to surprise
the PCs as they enter the
chamber.
If the party arrives
here quietly, the troglodyte is all but invisible in
its beds of seaweed,
but it quickly awakens if the characters make
too much noise. It
cannot surprise the party as it gets to its feet,
and the creature
might be surprised.
