Elemental tsunamis are huge and destructive. Water elementals can be very destructive, but often not intentionally so; just as water can bring life to those in need on the Material Plane, its waves can pound shores and rains can flood cities. Water elementals are similarly difficult to predict.

Abilities

Water-Bound — When not touching water, the elemental tsunami is Slowed 1 and can't use reactions.
Vortex (aura, water) — 50 feet. Water in the area that is in the same body of water as the elemental tsunami is difficult terrain for Swimming creatures that don't have the water trait.
Blinding Sickness (disease) — A creature that takes damage from an elder elemental tsunami's wave Strike or Surge is exposed to blinding sickness.

Saving Throw DC 34 Fortitude

Stage 3 Enfeebled 2 (1 day)

Stage 4 enfeebled 2 and permanently Blinded (1 day)

Stage 5 Enfeebled 4 (1 day)

Stage 7 death
Drench (primal, water) — The elemental puts out all fires in a 20-foot emanation.

It extinguishes all non-magical fires automatically and attempts to counteract magical fires (+20 counteract modifier).
Surge — The elemental tsunami quickly expands its space to fill the area of its vortex. Creatures within the vortex's emanation take 6d12+8 bludgeoning damage (DC 34 Fortitude save). A creature that fails this save is Pushed 20 feet. The elemental tsunami then retracts to its former space.

A creature that takes damage is exposed to blinding sickness.

The elemental tsunami can't Surge again for 1d4 rounds.
Push or Pull 10 feet — The elemental tsunami can also pull the creature.

Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Push in its damage entry
Effect The monster attempts to Shove the creature. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the monster's multiple attack penalty. If Push lists a distance, change the distance the creature is pushed on a success to that distance.

WORKS WELL WITH

CrasherAQUATIC / LANDA mobile striker finishes off targets the tsunami's Push or Pull has separated from the group.
