If the target is Medium or smaller, it is also restrained until this grapple ends.

[[File:|thumb|600px|]] Deep ones are scaled humanoids resembling a cross between frog and fish. They have huge staring eyes and webbed hands and feet. Deep ones live at the bottom of the ocean and worship ancient dark gods. Sometimes, deep ones come to the surface to trade. While deep ones look inhuman, they can produce offspring with humans and a few other humanoid races. Communities trading with deep ones have often made a pact with dark powers and have deep one hybrids among them.
