Kushtaka
Fail to land a hit or intimidate it and the failure becomes an opening, charming the attacker before the water closes over their head.
A shapeshifting otter-spirit of cold coastal waters, the kushtaka lures the lonely and the drowning with a charming voice, then drags them under. What looks like rescue is the hook.
