Actions

Slam. Melee Strike +15/10/5 (reach 20 feet, unarmed) with 7d6+5 bludgeoning damage.

Vortex. As a Triple Action, an Elder Water Elemental can spin rapidly as it moves up to twice its speed. During this movement, it can pass through any occupied area. A creature’s space that it moves through while using Vortex must make a DC 23 Save or take 7d6+5 bludgeoning damage. On a critical failure, a creature takes double damage and is picked up in the Elder Water Elemental to be carried within it to the end of its movement, where it is then dropped.
