Seetangeists are composed of the bloated corpses of marine life, encrusted with bleached coral and wrapped in rotting seaweed. Although occasionally created by water-breathing necromancers, seetangeists most often arise when an aquatic ecosystem collapses, resulting in the deaths of countless creatures. Bound by spiritual trauma, these corpses merge together, forming a writhing school of flesh and decaying plant matter that seeks out and consumes what life remains in the region. The disasters t

Abilities
Wavesense (Imprecise) 100 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.
Necrotic Runoff (aura, poison) — 60 feet. A seetangeist secretes foul fluids into the surrounding water, poisoning it. A creature that enters or starts its turn in the aura must succeed at a DC 29 Fortitude save or become Sickened 2 (Sickened 3 on a critical failure). Creatures that breathe water take a -2 circumstance penalty to this saving throw. As long as a creature remains in the aura, it can't reduce its sickened condition below 1. A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune for 1 minute.
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
Putrid Assault — Each enemy in the seetangeist's space takes 3d6 slashing plus 3d6 poison{3d6 slashing and 3d6 poison damage} (DC 32 Reflex). A creature that fails this save also takes 1d12 persistent poison.
