Olhydra, otherwise known as the Princess of Evil Water, or the Crushing Wave is a major antagonist in the Dungeons & Dragons franchise, being one of the overarching antagonists of the Elemental Evil storyline.
What makes her Pure Evil?[]
- Unleashes her power to destroy ships and cities in her realm just for fun.
- When she attacks lifeforms, she kills them slowly and painfully.
- Wants to drown the entire Material Plane in a state of nightmarish water.
- Manipulated her patron, Gar Shatterkeel with the magical trident, Drown to create the Cult of the Crushing Wave.
- Ordered the sacrifice of a sea elf to give Gar a Devastation Orb to set off a tidal wave to drown anyone nearby.
- She has a demented interest in humanity, specifically, the evil side of it. She is particularly interested in pirates because of their crimes, and manipulates them to do what she pleases.
- Unlike the other archomentals who are generic doomsday villains, are embodiments of rage, or act on natural instinct, Olhydra has a clear moral agency. She knows of the evil she does and what goes around and still peruses it for her pleasure.
