Abilities

Shark Commune 150 feet (mental) — The sea devil can communicate telepathically with sharks within range. It can communicate only simple concepts like "come," "guard," or "attack."
Wavesense 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.
Blood Frenzy (rage) —
Bloodletting — When the sea devil deals piercing or slashing damage, it also deals 1d4 bleed if the target was Off-Guard or if the attack was a critical hit.
Hateful Tide (rage) —
