These brightly colored reptiles share the rough size and pack mentality of guard dogs, roaming in small groups. Shocker lizards have specialized glands under their scales that accumulate static electricity, and they can unleash blasts of lightning strong enough to harm significantly larger foes. Though they're meek and docile when encountered alone, shocker lizards are significantly more aggressive in packs, when they can amplify each other's electrical attacks. Shocker lizards are notoriously

Abilities

Greater Electrolocation (electricity) — A shocker lizard can sense minute electrical charges in living creatures, which it can use as a precise sense at a range of 20 feet. This distance increases to 100 feet against any creature that has used an electricity effect within the last minute.
Amplify Voltage
Discharge (electricity) — The shocker lizard releases a blast of lightning from its body. Creatures within a 10-foot emanation take 3d6 electricity damage (DC 18 Reflex save).

The shocker lizard can't use Discharge for 1d4 rounds.
Shocking Burst (electricity, primal) — The shocker lizard hunkers down and begins to spark with electricity, which it releases in a 10-foot emanation that deals 3d8 electricity damage (DC 18 Reflex save).

The shocker lizard can't use Shocking Burst again for 1 minute.

Up to four shocker lizards can combine their Shocking Bursts. In this case, the lizards can delay the release of their electricity until any other shocker lizard within 30 feet completes its Shocking Burst. The combined Shocking Bursts create an emanation with the combined area from all participating shocker lizards. For each additional shocker lizard that joins the burst, the damage increases by 3d8 and the save DC increases by 1 (to a maximum of four lizards dealing 12d8 damage with a DC 21 save).

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / AQUATIC / VERTICALAnvil keeps enemies clustered within the lizard's burst-emanation radius for maximum area damage.
CrasherLAND / AQUATIC / VERTICALCrasher pushes or knocks enemies into the lizard's electrical burst zones, creating a deadly overlap of control and damage.
