Traits

Blood Frenzy.

The deep diver has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points.

Brine Lurker.

The deep diver has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made while submerged in water.

Limited Amphibiousness.

The deep diver can breathe air and water, but it needs to be submerged at least once every 4 hours to avoid suffocating.

Lure.

The deep diver can cause its lure to light up or darken at will. While the lure is lit, the deep diver sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius centered on itself and dim light for an additional 20 feet.

Shark Telepathy.

The deep diver can magically command any shark within 120 feet of it, using a limited telepathy.

The deep diver makes two attacks with its glaive, or one attack with its bite and two with its claws.

Light of Sekolah.
