Abilities

Wavesense (Imprecise) 30 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.
Attack of Opportunity (Stinger Only) — Stinger only

Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using.

Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.
Eurypterid Venom (poison) — Saving Throw DC 14 Fortitude

Maximum Duration 4 rounds

Stage 1 1d4 poison damage (1 round)

Stage 2 1d6 poison damage (1 round)

Stage 3 1d6 poison damage and Enfeebled 1 (1 round)
