Being the Water Princess of Elemental Evil, she rules over hordes of water elementals, evil aquatic humanoids, such as sahuagins, elemental outsiders like mephits, and terrible beats like krakens. She dwells in a great undersea castle on the Elemental Plane of Water. She is a great enemy of Imix. In sea battles, Olhydra can capsize most ships existing on a plane, and her powerful vortex can take out most combatants in the water. She rarely uses her other powers, prefering to slam her enemies.</p><p>In addition to being the evil Princess of Water, she also acts as a conduit for the divine power that is the true being behind the Elder Elemental Eye, allowing it to grant access to the Water domain normally barred to clerics of that being.</p><p><strong>Water Matery (Ex):</strong> Olhydra gains a +1 attack and damage bonus if both she and her opponent touch water.

Animate water is a 2nd level spell of the shamanic River domain, Create Spring is a 2nd level Shaman spell, and Master of the Rolling River is a 6nd level spell of the shamanic River domain. Feel free to replace it by up to 40 spell levels from one class spell list, or 20 spell levels from two distinct spell lists.</p><p><strong>Drench (Ex):</strong> Olhydra’s touch puts out torches, campfires, exposed lanterns, and other open flames of nonmagical origin if these are of Large size or smaller. She can dispel magical fire she touches as dispel magic cast by a sorcerer of 48th level.</p><p><strong>Vortex (Su):</strong> Olhydra can transform herself into a whirlpool once every 10 minutes, provided she is underwater, and remain in that form for up to 72 rounds. In vortex form, she can move through the water or along the bottom at her swim speed.</p><p>The vortex is 10 feet wide at the base, up to 60 feet wide at the top, and up to 120 feet high. Olhydra controls the exact height, but it must be at least 10 feet.</p><p>Creatures of Huge size or smaller might take damage when caught in the vortex and may be swept up by it. An affected creature must succeed at a Reflex save (DC 51) when it comes into contact with the vortex or take 16 points of damage. It must also succeed at a second Reflex save or picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful currents, automatically taking damage each round. A creature that can swim is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape the vortex. The creature still takes damage, but can leave if the save is successful.</p><p>Olhydra can eject any carried creatures whenever she wishes, depositing them wherever the vortex happens to be.</p><p>If the vortex’s base touches the bottom, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on Olhydra and has a diameter equal to half the vortex’s height. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have one-half concealment, while those farther away have total concealment. Those caught in the cloud must succeed at a Concentration check (DC 51) to cast a spell.</p><p><strong>Turn/Rebuke Elemental Creatures (Su):</strong> Olhydra can either turn or destroy any creature with the fire subtype, or rebuke or command creatures with the water subtype as a sixth level cleric turns or rebukes undead.
