| A strikingly beautiful and capricious nature spirit, deeply bonded with the waters in which she lives. Wherever they flow, so may she, and ponds and rivers surge and leap at her whim. Beware, for many unwitting adventurers have found themselves drawn beneath her waters by a simple touch, only for it to become their final resting place.

Useful Info
Water nymphs are amphibious creatures which force their prey into water before drowning them. They can deal heavy smite-targeted asphyxiation damage with their magic to any creature standing in water, and have a passive one-tile aura of water which follows them around (though it takes it some time to catch up). They are found in the Shoals.

Tips & Tricks
- Like most of the inhabitants of the Shoals, they can't see invisible. Mephitic Cloud also disables their magic nicely. Flight will protect you from the risk of stumbling due to their water aura, but their Waterstrike spell can still affect you.
- Water nymphs can only deal significant damage to you if you're in the water, and even a normal speed character can retreat from them, reaching dry land long enough to take an attack before the water catches up. So long as you have a safe, clear area to retreat to, feel free to backpedal until you've defeated the nymph. Don't attempt this into unexplored territory, however.
