Mud Elemental
Large elemental, neutral
Customs men once dredged the channel and dumped the spoil wherever the tide would take it, and the tide took it personally. A mud elemental is the flat given shoulders: silt, shell, and old rope walking upright, patient as low water. It does not hate the living. It simply keeps whatever steps into it.

Traits
Mud Glide. The elemental can burrow through mud, silt, and wet sand without disturbing the surface, and moving through difficult terrain made of mud or shallow water costs it no extra movement.
Actions
