Spirits of the Elemental Plane of Water form shapeless liquids into water elementals, aqueous beings with the might of surging waves. Water elementals are as mutable as liquid, allowing them to crash into foes and seep through narrow cracks.

Under cover of darkness, they…
Water: greatest of the elements in might and form. A tsunami’s torrent. A blizzard’s claws. A parent’s tears. What is not moved by water? —Kalbari, Mother of Foam, ruler of marids
The Kalamer merfolk dwell in the Thunder Sea, and most spend their entire lives beneath the waves. However, a few are called to walk above the water. Those that embrace this path may become Kalamer Landwalkers, gaining the magical ability to transform their fish-tail into a pair of humanoid legs. Landwalkers are exceptionally rare, and few surface-dwellers have ever seen one. Some Kalamer…

Serpentine nature spirits, water weirds protect pools, fountains, and magical bodies of water. In the water, these creatures are indistinguishable from the liquid surrounding them. Should their aquatic territory be disturbed, they rise as animate water spouts with vague snake- or dragon-like features. Often their appearance is enough to drive off foes, but if forced to fight, water weirds crush…
