Blood Form. The elemental can enter a hostile creature's space & stop there. It can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
Dilution. If the elemental is in a body of water larger than itself, it takes 1d10 acid damage at the start of its turn.
Elemental Nature. The elemental doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
Freeze. If the elemental takes cold damage, it partially freezes; its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of its next turn.
Actions
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage.
Whelm (Recharge 4–6). A creature in the elemental's space must make a DC 12 Strength saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage. If it is Small or smaller, it is also grappled (escape DC 12). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained and unable to breathe. If the saving throw is successful, the target is pushed out of the elemental's space.
The elemental can grapple one Small creature at one time. At the start of each of the elemental's turns, the target grappled by it takes 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage. A creature within 5 feet of the elemental can pull a creature or object out of it by taking an action to make a DC 12 Strength check and succeeding.
Bonus Actions
Blood Drain. The elemental can attempt to drain the blood from a creature it currently has grappled. The targeted creature must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 4 (1d8) necrotic damage and one level of exhaustion. On a success, the creature only takes the necrotic damage. The elemental gains 1 HP for every point of necrotic damage done with this feature.
