Good points. I had another idea, to spice up monster merfolk a little: A
Merfolk Water Witch (think of it as the Merfolk answer to an Orc Sorcerer or
DE Annihilator) that summons groups of water elementals near the player, as
well as the usual mix of Blink/Invisibility/Ice Bolt. Would appear in groups
with other Merfolk. Being swarmed by water elementals would make moving away
a bit more urgent.

Also, what if you were unable to blink or tele-self while beheld? Sounds
harsh, but we need to make sure we're challenging casters as well as
bruisers, no?
