Sedacthy Marauder
Creature 4 — amphibious, humanoid, sedacthy
CrasherWeaverLANDAQUATIChumanoidsedacthy
Physically imposing sedacthies prove their status by controlling dangerous aquatic creatures like great white sharks and giant moray eels. Sedacthies are amphibious, fish-like humanoids who lurk in Golarion's oceans and are known for leading their animal servants ashore to devour air breathers. When an entire fishing village disappears overnight, sedacthies are the first suspects. Sedacthies pride themselves as natural leaders, with ambition limited only by their strict adherence to hierarchy.

Abilities
Sea Speech — A sedacthy speaking Thalassic can be understood by any animal that has a swim Speed or the amphibious or aquatic trait. By spending a week regularly interacting with such an animal, the sedacthy can make it permanently helpful.
Wavesense (Imprecise) 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.
Vengeful Throw —
Challenging Shriek (auditory, emotion, fear, mental) — The marauder unleashes a terrifying battle cry. Each enemy in a 30-foot emanation must attempt a DC 21 Will save. Regardless of the results, creatures are temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Shared Feast — The sedacthy makes a jaws Strike. If it hits, an ally of their choice can spend a reaction to make a jaws Strike against the same target. Allies with beaks or similar attacks can use those instead of jaws.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / AQUATICA frontline defender holds a target in place so the marauder's ally can spend a reaction to join the jaws Strike.
SnareLAND / AQUATICA controller that keeps a target adjacent guarantees the follow-up Strike from Shared Feast connects.
SniperLAND / AQUATICA ranged attacker can pick off enemies fleeing the terrifying shriek's Frightened effect.
