Any battle with locathahs usually begins with the creatures loosing a volley of bolts from their crossbows. If they have managed to set up an ambush or other trap, they continue to employ these weapons for as long as possible. Otherwise, they close to bring their long, trident-like spears into play. Although primarily used for fishing, these spears make formidable weapons.

Locathahs lack teeth, claws, and other natural weapons, so they are not especially dangerous if unarmed. A weaponless locathah will generally turn and flee.

Aquatic Subtype

Creatures with the aquatic subtype always have swim speeds and thus can move in water without making Swim checks. An aquatic creature can breathe underwater. It cannot also breathe air unless it has the amphibious special quality.
