Not just anybody can do this, you know. Well, okay, they can if they have this pattern. But otherwise...

Aquatic Creature Pattern (+2 CR)

Subtype: add Aquatic to subtypes


'Aquatic Creature' is a pattern that can be added to any creature that is well adapted to living and hunting in water, or other similar fluids. Swamp-dwelling ogres, deep-sea Trolls, Rot Flies that live in giant pools of blood, fire elementals that swim in lava, all these and more can be emulated with the Aquatic Creature pattern.

This greenish creature has gills and webbed fingers and toes, as if able to swim and breathe water.
