WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / AQUATICA durable frontline holds the rest of the party's attention while this predator dives in, grabs a target, and drags it away with Fetch.
SnareLAND / AQUATICA controller that immobilizes a second PC compounds the isolation this creature creates by dragging its own grabbed target off.
SniperLAND / AQUATICRanged damage punishes PCs who try to swim after a target this creature has grabbed and dragged out of easy reach.
