Vodyanoi

Special Advantages.
* Vodyanoi breathe water and can swim at a movement rate of 6.
* They suffer no movement or attack penalties underwater, being native to the aquatic environment.
* Vodyanoi have huge claws and powerful jaws like their land-dwelling cousins. They can attack with both claws and a bite in a single round, inflicting 3-12 hp damage with each successful claw attack and 1-10 hp damage with a successful bite.
* Vodyanoi have the ability to summon electric eels. A vodyanoi can attempt this summoning once per day, with a chance of success equal to 10% + 5% per level; 1d4 eels per level of the vodyanoi respond to the summons if successful.
Special Disadvantages.
* Vodyanoi are lumbering brutes, though gifted with average intelligence.
* They are large creatures and suffer damage appropriately.
* Their claws make them incapable of any sort of fine manipulation, and their bulk makes it impossible for them to wear armor.
* They disdain the use of weapons other than their natural armament.
* Vodyanoi move at a crawl (MV 3) on land and suffer the effects of dehydration if they remain out of water for more than an hour. Each hour after the first that a vodyanoi remains out of the water, the creature loses 1 point of Constitution and must make a Constitution check or suffer 1d8 hp damage.
