Abilities

Wavesense (Imprecise) 10 feet — This sense allows a monster to feel vibrations caused by movement through a liquid. It's an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Wavesense functions only if monster and the subject are in the same body of liquid, and only if the subject is moving through the liquid.
Cecaelia Jet (move) — The cecaelia moves up to 140 feet in a straight line through the water.
Hurl Net — On a hit, the target is Off-Guard and takes a –10-foot circumstance penalty to its Speeds. On a critical hit, the creature is Restrained. The DC to Escape the net is 16. A creature adjacent to the target can Interact with the net to remove it from the target.
Ink Cloud — The cecaelia emits a cloud of black ink in a 10-foot emanation. This ink cloud has no effect outside of water. Creatures inside the cloud are Undetected by creatures using sight or smell, and they can't see or smell while inside the cloud. The cloud dissipates after 1 minute.

The cecaelia can't use Ink Cloud again for 2d6 rounds.
Grab
