Water Breathing (ex) - The creature can breathe under water.

Grab - Each time this attack is successful, the Merrow (Saltwater) can make a grapple check as a free action to see if it holds his opponent. If successful, the opponent is grappled. Grabbing does not provoke an attack of opportunity
- Ranged - 1 x javelin +8 (2d6+7). Range: 75/150/300
Vital Strike (ex) - As a standard action, the Merrow (Saltwater) can make one attack at full bonus that deals additional damage. Roll the damage from the attack twice before adding other damage bonuses. This extra weapon damage is not multiplied on a critical hit but is still added to the total.
