Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
FlankerLANDAQUATICsea-devil
Scouts, among the lowliest of sea devils, ply the inky waters of the ocean in search of aquatic prey, tread ashore to gauge landborne threats, or charge into battle with the advance forces of a greater sea devil war party. Sea devils are horrid, amphibious humanoids who lurk in Golarion's oceans and crawl ashore to steal away victims beneath the veil of darkness. When an entire fishing village disappears overnight, sea devils are the first suspects. Far from mindless monstrosities, sea devils

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.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / AQUATICThe Anvil holds the enemy's focus, solving the Flanker's positioning priority by creating the off-guard condition that triggers Bloodletting.
WeaverLAND / AQUATICThe Weaver moves enemies into the Flanker's reach or through water, solving the positioning requirement for establishing favorable flanking angles.
CrasherLAND / AQUATICThe Crasher's charge disrupts enemy formations, solving the Flanker's positioning needs by breaking cohesion for ambush strikes.
