FlankerAQUATICLANDanimalaquaticinsect
The aquatic, wingless offspring of dragonflies are called dragonfly nymphs. Giant dragonfly nymphs can be several feet in length and mostly hunt in shallow waters, eating carrion and ambushing living creatures with their fully grown counterparts.

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.
Extend Mandibles — The giant dragonfly nymph extends its jaws to a surprising distance. The dragonfly nymph makes a mandibles Strike with a reach of 10 feet, but the mandibles lose the agile trait for this Strike.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilAQUATICA bulky combatant holds the waterline so an isolated target stays within the nymph's extended reach.
SnareAQUATICA controller that creates difficult terrain in the water keeps a target from escaping the mandibles' reach.
SniperAQUATICRanged support finishes a target the ambush strike has already wounded from cover.
PUNISHES
✖ isolated targets✖ melee reliance✖ standing still
