The Asterian Lake Creature (pronounced as-TEER-ee-an) is purportedly a monstrous serpentine hero-god that hides in the depths of Lake Aster. While some in Asteria believe the Lake Creature to be a divinity of some stature, most do not, viewing this belief as a strange delusion of those that spend too much time alone on the water. Regardless, the creature has a small yet devoted following.
