Part 4 · Monsters & Creatures
Bubble Bear
Vivid currents of magic flow through the rocks of the Serpent Isles, feeding the ocean’s extraordinary inhabitants.
Meet a Bubble Bear and experience a curious, naturally friendly creature. Although some scholars have tried to map their locations, they can be found on any island, but mainly protecting coral creatures.
Its structure is gelatinous, similar to a gel, as if protected by an elastic yet resistant film containing a fluid in constant motion.
My recommendation is that upon meeting one, keep a smile on your face and enjoy yourself in the waters.
Rewards
When defeated, a Bubble Bear dissolves into water, granting no reward.

Engulf. The Bubble Bear uses its movement and, in doing so, can enter a space occupied by a Large or smaller creature. Whenever the Bubble Bear tries to enter a space occupied by a creature, that creature must make a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the Bubble Bear enters the creature's space, and it takes 5 (2d4) Cold damage. An engulfed creature can't breathe, is Restrained, and takes 3 (1d6) Cold damage at the start of each of the Bubble Bear's turns. When the Bubble Bear moves, the engulfed creature moves with it. An engulfed creature can try to escape by using an action to make a DC 11 Strength check. On a success, the creature escapes and ends up in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the Bubble Bear.
