Amphibious (Ex): Hydroloths can breathe both air and water and can survive out of water indefinitely.Breath Weapon (Su): As a standard action, once every 2d4 rounds, a hydroloth can expel a 30-foot line of boiling water from its mouth, dealing 4d6 points of damage with a Reflex save (DC 21) for half.  Half of this damage is fire damage and the other half comes from the fiendish powers of the hydroloth.  The save DC is Constitution based. Energy Drain (Su): Living creatures hit by a hydroloth’s bite attack gain one negative level.  The DC is 21 to remove the negative level.  For each such negative level bestowed, the hydroloth gains 5 temporary hit points.  The save DC is Constitution based.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the hydroloth must hit with at least 2 claw attacks.  It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.  If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake.Leap (Ex): If a hydroloth charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.  A hydroloth also gains two rake attacks while swimming.Rake (Ex): Attack bonus +15, damage 2d6+5Spell-like Abilities:  At will – create water, darkness, greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only); 2/day – dimension door.  Caster level 11th.  The save DC’s are Charisma based.Styx Immunity:  Hydroloths are totally immune to the memory loss effects of the River Styx.  They are, however, susceptible to other memory altering spells or effects.Summon Elemental (Sp):  Once per day, a hydroloth can automatically summon one large water elemental.  This is the equivalent of a 5th level spell.Summon Yugoloths (Sp):  Once per day, a hydroloth can attempt to summon another hydroloth with a 30% chance of success.  This is the equivalent of a 5th level spell.Skills: A hydroloth has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim checks to perform some special action or avoid a hazard.  It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered.  It can use the use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.</blockquote>
