Innate Spellcasting. The drownling's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 12). It can innately cast the following spells:

• At will: Dancing Lights, Detect Magic
• 1/Day (each): Charm Person, Confusion, Entangle

Ambush Hunter. The drownling has a +2 bonus to initiative rolls during combat.

Amphibious. The drownling can breathe air & water.

Unified Spirits. A group of at least three drownlings forms a covey that can share a pool of hit points. The pool's total is equal to 7 (2d6) multiplied by the number of the covey's members. On initiative count 20, the covey can distribute the hit points from the pool as necessary between the members of the covey. Any points that are used will be replenished at dawn of the next day.

Should a member of member of the covey drop to at least 0 HP, its body dissolves into water. It will regain its physical form at dawn of the next day so long as a member of its covey survives & returns to the drownling's native water. If all members of the covey are slain or otherwise prevented from returning to their native waters, the dissolved drownlings are dead permanently.

Water Dependency. For each hour a drownling remains on dry land, it suffers a level of exhaustion. Once the drownling returns to its native waters, it recovers & looses levels of exhaustion at a rate of one per minute.
