Found in salt or fresh water, stingrays are normally passive creatures, but when threatened or cornered, they lash out with their tails to lance foes with their toxic stingers. Stingrays often bury themselves in mud, sand, or sea grass, and unfortunately for those wading in shallow waters, stepping on an unseen stingray is a surefire way to receive a painful sting.

PUNISHES
✖ low Fortitude saves✖ solitary targets✖ melee reliance in water
Avoid pairing with another water-locked Shade; redundant ambushers competing for the same submerged approach dilute the surprise.
