Water Weird

The water weird are a life form originating from the elemental plane of water. The can hide within water even in front of a being. A detect magic will reveal that the water they reside in is indeed magical. They attack all living thing, feeding from their essences in some unknown matter.

The creature forms in but 1/2 an action appearing as a serpent and lashes out at a nearby opponent. Opponents hit by the weird must make a reflex save (DC 20) or be dragged into the pool the weird resides. While an opponent is being drowned by the water weird they take 2d8+4 every round until freed, no need to hit. Once the weird has a victim it will continue drowning that victim until dead. It cannot attack others while drowning an opponent.

A drowning victim may try to break free by performing a full action move and making a strength check (DC 20) against the creature.

Piercing weapons do 1 point of damage to the creature, slashing weapons 2 points of damage, and blunt weapons full damage. If the weird is brought to zero hitpoints it will reform back to full hit points in 2 rounds.

1st level and above cold based spells that do damage act like a slow spell on it and deal no damage. A purify food and water spell well deal 1 point of damage per caster level or destroy a zero hitpoint water wierd. Otherwise the being is uneffected by spells.
