In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, aboleths (/ˈæboʊlɛθ/ AB-o-leth) are a fictitious race of malevolent, eel-like aberrations with potent psionic abilities. Aboleths are some of the most ancient beings in existence according to Lords of Madness, a Dungeons & Dragons supplement book about creatures classified as "aberrations" such as aboleths, illithids and beholders.
The aboleth was created by David "Zeb" Cook for the first edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
The aboleth first appears in the module Dwellers of the Forbidden City (1981), and later appears in the first edition Monster Manual II (1983).
The aboleth was detailed in Dragon #131 (March 1988), in the "Ecology of the Aboleth", which also describes the grand aboleth, the greater aboleth, the noble aboleth, and the ruler aboleth.
The saltwater aboleth appears in Dungeon #12 (July 1988).
