Electricity Damage (Su): The touch of a spark lasher's tentacles deals 3d8 points of electricity damage.

Skills: A spark lasher has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line. *Spark lashers have a +8 bonus on Hide checks when in a marsh

As loners, spark lashers prefer to leap out at unsuspecting intruders. If spotted, a spark lasher may simply submerge to come at the intruders from another direction. In groups, spark lashers try to surround intruders, preferably driving allied shambling mounds before them.

Faced with a creature that has immunity to its electricity, a spark lasher can resort so its feeble bite, but it would rather just flee.
