Comments
Wavepacks are normally found only in deep water. They have no eyes and hunt by sensing sound and water vibrations. If a party in a boat remain perfectly still the wavepack will be unable to sense them. Note that each wavepack member occupies 1 hex and can attack as if any of the surrounding 6 hexes are its front.
