SPECIAL TRAITS

• Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny sea horse. The swarm can’t regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.
• Water Breathing. The swarm can breathe only underwater.

ACTIONS

• Bubble Burn. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm’s space. Hit: 11 (3d6 + 1) acid damage, or 7 (2d6 + 1) acid damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.
• Breathing Bubble. The swarm can create a sphere of water around itself. This sphere lasts for 1 hour or until the swarm dies. The swarm gains a flying speed of 30 feet, and it can hover for the duration.
• Bubble Trap (Recharge 5-6). The swarm spits a bubble toward a Medium or smaller creature it can see within 30 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw or be trapped inside the bubble. Nothing can pass in or out of the bubble except by teleportation. It has an AC of 8 and 8 hit points. Reducing it to 0 hit points destroys it. At the end of the trapped creature’s turn, the bubble floats 5 feet away from the swarm. The bubble dissipates after 10 minutes.

ABOUT

A bubble sea horse is a docile creature that spends most of its time with its herd, but it is curious about other sea life.

Occasionally, a bubble sea horse gets an exploratory urge and uses its bubble of water to float over land. Bubble sea horses are a popular pet for those who spend a great deal of time above and below the water. Although generally peaceful, a bubble sea horse quickly defends itself if threatened.
