Water Form. The elemental can enter a hostile creature’s space and stop there, and can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
Freeze. If the elemental takes cold damage, it partially freezes, its speed reduced by 20 feet until the end of its next turn.
Multiattack. The elemental makes two slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8+4) bludgeoning damage.
Whelm (Recharge 4-6). Each creature in the elemental’s space must make a DC 15 Strength save. On a failure, a target is engulfed, restrained, and at risk of suffocating, taking 13 (2d8+4) bludgeoning damage at the start of each of its turns.
How hard a fight? Against a party of four, a single water elemental is deadly at levels 1–3, hard at level 4 and easy at levels 5–8, and barely a challenge from level 9. Add allies or more foes in the encounter generator.
Where you'll find it: coasts, underwater and other planes.
