Aqueous creatures are native denizens of the Elemental Planes of Water, and they move with a unique grace underwater. This template can be applied only to a nonoutsider that has none of the following subtypes: air, cold, earth, fire, or water. An aqueous creature’s CR increases by 1 only if the base creature has 5 or more HD.
Rebuild Rules: Type gains the water subtype; Senses gains darkvision 60 ft.; Defensive Abilities gains DR and resistance to cold as noted on the table below; Speed gains a swim speed equal to its highest speed + 10 ft.; Attacks gains bonus cold damage as noted on the table below on attacks with natural weapons and metal weapons.

| 1–4 | — | 10 | 1 point |
| 5–10 | 3/— | 15 | 1d6 |
| 11+ | 5/— | 20 | 2d6 |
