Here is my attempt at a 5e Creature from the Black Lagoon. Bear in mind, this is making the following assumptions.
-With a Vampire in play, I placed the creature at CR 13 (the CR of the Vampire). Like a Vampire, Creature below is a Legendary Monster. So, without further adieu:
Creature from the Black Lagoon
CR: 13 / Medium Human (Gillman), Neutral
Attributes
Str: 18 (+4)
Dex: 18 (+4)
Con: 18 (+4)
Int: 15 (+2)
Wis: 16 (+3)
Cha: 15 (+2)
Info: AC: 18 (Natural Armor) / Proficiency Bonus: +5 / Ini: +4 / Perception: 18 / HP: 144 (17d8 + 68)
Movement: 30 ft. (Land), 30 ft. (Swim) / Darkvision 60 ft.
Skills: Athletics +9 / Perception: +8
Claws: Attk: +9 / D: 1d8+4 / R: Medium
Traits
Amphibious: Can breath on land as well as water.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day): 3 times per day, a Gillman can automatically succeed at a Saving Throw of their choice.
Multiattack: A Gillman may make 2 attacks per turn.
Regeneration: At the start of the Gillman's turn, the Gillman receives 10 HP as long as they have 1 or more HP to begin with. The Gillman does not receive 10 HP if they were subject to a Fire or Acid attack in the previous round.
Legendary Actions
A Gillman can use one of the following actions up to 3 times.
Move: Can gain a free 30 ft. movement without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Swipe: Can perform an attack action even if they have already acted in that round.
Regenerate (Costs 2): A Gillman can regenerate 10 HP in the event that they were denied due to suffering Fire or Acid damage in the previous round.
Directors Commentary: The Creature of Black Lagoon was created as a high-end Kuo-toa. The Creature might have certain reptilian features (such as green, scaly skin), but on the other hand, The Gillman feels like a nod to H.P. Lovecraft in some distant fashion, and to me, if you want to get a Deep One, you pluck out a Kuo-toa. Hopefully this stat block helps in someway, even if it's more of an idea generator when you make your own.
