Visium

Visum are beings made of living water. They randomly appear in bodies of water, no one is exactly sure what the origin of the Visum is, why they appear where and when they do, where they come from or why.

### Appearance

Visium are humanoid looking creatures made entirely out of water. They are a form of minor water elemental that appears only in Eloria.

### Environment

Visium can survive in any climate and can be found anywhere where water exists. They tend to live in cities providing fresh water for the settlement and usually helping protect the area. As far as researchers can tell they are not actually found on the elemental plane of water though they appear to come form it. Mysterious huh? Visium kind of just appear at seemingly random times in seemingly random locations the only correlation being that they always appear in a body of water regardless of whether it is a puddle or lake. No one has been able to figure out any pattern as to where they come from. Maybe they are just some god's idea of a joke.

### Water Form

Your kind’s bodies are completely or almost entirely composed of water, the other shapes and aspects of your body are composed of flowing streams of water. You have the elemental creature type. You can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing. In addition, you can enter a creature's space and stop there. If you successfully grapple a creature that shares your space, they immediately begin suffocating (unless that creature can breathe water or otherwise does not require air). If you take cold damage, you partially freeze and all of your movement speeds are reduced by 20 feet until the end of your next turn (subsequent cold damage does not further reduce your movement speeds). You can breath water or air.

You are able to change the shape of your body at will. If you drop prone, you have advantage on any check to imitate a puddle of liquid. In addition, you are immune to the grappled condition, though you can still grapple other creatures.

### Benthic Speech

Your kind lack proper vocal cords and instead use innate psychic vibrations to emit sound or talk to others telepathically. You cannot read minds, but you can transmit words openly or to specific creatures that you can see within 60 feet using this trait. You can use these psychic vibrations for the verbal components of spells as you would normal speech. Words transmitted telepathically in this way can be used as verbal components even within zones of silence and creatures with the deafened condition can understand you clearly. You can speak, read and write Common and Aquan.
