Tide Lurker
A predator that lies perfectly still in shallow water, invisible until it strikes.
You almost step on it before you notice the outline - flat, mottled to match sand and stone, wedged between rocks in the shallows. Then the eye moves. Whatever it is, it has been watching you for some time. It chose not to strike until now, which means you are exactly where it wants you.

- Notes
- Begins every encounter in camouflage, triggering Explosive Lunge as its opener. The initial burst damage plus immediate bleed can drop an unprepared tank to critical health before the group reacts. After the opener it fights as a high-damage melee brawler with stacking bleed. Fear immunity means it will press the attack relentlessly. Detection potions and area-reveal abilities counter its stealth phase.
