Mist Stalker

Creature 4 — amphibious, elemental, water

SnareLANDAQUATICVERTICALelementalwater

The tentacled mist stalker shrouds itself in a cloak of mist through which its single, never-blinking eye can see with clarity, allowing it an advantage when stalking prey. Water elementals that become infused with cold or mist have increased mobility in regions outside of bodies of water.

Abilities

Mist Vision — The mist stalker ignores the Concealed condition from mist and fog.
Mist Cloud (aura, primal, water) — 15 feet. The mist stalker is surrounded by mist. Creatures in the aura are Concealed. If wind disperses the aura, it returns automatically at the start of the mist stalker's turn. This cloud is suppressed in water.
Constrict — 1d8+4 bludgeoning damage, DC 21 Fortitude

The monster deals the listed amount of damage to any number of creatures Grabbed or Restrained by it. Each of those creatures can attempt a basic Fortitude save with the listed DC.
Solidify Mist (primal, water) — The mist stalker makes its mist cloud congeal, causing the aura to be difficult terrain until the start of the mist stalker's next turn. In addition, the mist stalker can make the mist even thicker around a single Medium or smaller creature within the cloud. The creature must succeed at a DC 20 Reflex save or become Immobilized until it Escapes or is no longer in the mist cloud's emanation.
