Lava Otter

Creature 1 — elemental, fire

These fiery otters frolic and hunt in the lava streams of the Planes of Fire. They're known to be highly territorial, instigating fights with rival otter families to compete for territory.

Abilities

Below the Crust — A lava otter can Sneak at its full Speed in lava.
Molten Form (fire) — Any creature that hits the lava otter with an unarmed Strike or otherwise touches it takes 1 fire damage. If a gallon or more of water touches the lava otter, or if it's affected by a water effect, its outer layer of lava hardens to a rocky shell, deactivating its molten form and imposing weakness 5 to bludgeoning damage. Molten form reactivates if the otter swims in lava for 1 minute.
Scattering Magma (fire) —
Tight-Knit Family — A lava otter can share the same space as another lava otter, but no more than two lava otters can occupy the same space.
