  • Watersword Attack (Costs 2 Actions). Harooga makes one longsword attack.
  • Whelm (Costs 3 Actions). Harooga gains water form trait and can move up to her speed, each creature in the her space must make a DC 24 Strength saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 27 (6d8) bludgeoning damage. If it is Large or smaller, it is also grappled (escape DC 24). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained and unable to breathe unless it can breathe water. If the saving throw is successful, the target is pushed out of the elemental’s space. Harooga can grapple one Large creature or up to two Medium or smaller creatures at one time. This grapple does not affect her normal actions. At the start of each of the Harooga’s turns, each target grappled by her takes 27 (6d8) bludgeoning damage.
