Grodairs are bizarre fishlike creature native to the First World. Their supernatural physiology includes a strange organ with an extradimensional space capable of storing thousands of gallons of water. This grants grodairs the ability to create a suitable environment for themselves anywhere by releasing the water, quickly transforming any surrounding land into a shallow bog. When grodairs wish to leave for a new location, they simply suck up all the water back up. When necessary, grodairs can al

Abilities

Death Flood (primal, water) — When a grodair dies, its body explodes in a blast of pressurized water that deals 4d6 bludgeoning damage to creatures within a 15-foot emanation (DC 22 Reflex save). A creature that fails its save is pushed 5 feet (or 10 feet on a critical failure).

Muddy Field (primal, water) — The grodair transforms all soil, sand, or similar sediment in a 10-foot emanation into mud for 1 round. This mud is difficult terrain for creatures other than grodairs.

Organ of Endless Water (manipulate, primal, water) — The grodair causes water to pour from a magical sac on its spine, either a stream of water at a rate of 1 gallon per round, or a fountain in a 5-foot-long stream at a rate of 5 gallons per round. It can stop the flow of water as a single action.

WORKS WELL WITH

CrasherLAND / AQUATICA burst striker benefits from the difficult terrain the grodair creates, since slowed enemies can't easily disengage from either threat.

SniperLAND / AQUATICA ranged attacker stays safely behind the grodair's bulk while it soaks melee attention at the front.

WeaverLAND / AQUATICA spellcaster gains safer casting windows once the grodair's difficult terrain slows enemies trying to close the distance.
