Abilities

Corpse Scent (Imprecise) — The ghoul crocodile can smell humanoid corpses in the water up to 1 mile away.
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.

Paralysis (incapacitation, occult) — Any living non-elf creature hit by a ghoul crocodile's tail must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or become Paralyzed. It can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns, and the DC cumulatively decreases by 1 on each such save.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilAQUATIC / LANDA durable frontline body holds the party's attention on land while the ambush from the water drags an isolated target under.
SniperAQUATIC / LANDA ranged attacker keeps threatening the shoreline while it is anchored fighting a paralyzed, grabbed victim.
ShadeAQUATIC / LANDA stealthy skirmisher exploits the chaos of a paralyzed ally being dragged away to strike unnoticed elsewhere.

PUNISHES

✖ clumping near shorelines✖ isolated targets✖ melee reliance
Avoid stacking with another ambush predator; overlapping opening bursts spend both surprises in the first round for little added pressure.
