Skyfish Swarm

Thousands of diminitive, translucent jellyfish swirl through the air, crackling with electricty and smelling of ozone.

A creature with skyfish clinging to it takes swarm damage at the end of its turn each round. As a full round action, the creature can remove the skyfish with a DC 17 Reflex save. At least 5 points of damage from any area effect destroys all clinging skyfish. In addition, the skyfish cease clinging to the victim if it is no longer wearing metal armor, carrying a metal weapon, or made of metal. The save DC is Dexterity-based. Dance of Lightning (Su) As a standard action, a skyfish swarm can forgo dealing swarm damage this turn to produce a 20-foot-radius burst of electricity centered on its own space. All creatures in the affected area take 2d6 points of nonlethal electricity damage (Reflex DC 16 half). This damage can activate the skyfish swarm's split defensive ability. The save DC is Constitution-based. Electricity Sense (Ex) A skyfish swarm automatically detects any electrical discharge within 100 feet. Split (Ex) A skyfish swarm's split ability activates whenever it is subject to any electricity attack, including its own dance of lightning ability, even though it is immune to electricity.

Skyfish are translucent, jellyfish-like creatures native to the Plane of Air, where they gather in large blooms to dance in lightning storms. Skyfish are drawn to electrical discharges and to metal, feeding on associated energy currents. Swarms often engage in stunning aerial dances that discharge bursts of electricity as the swarming skyfish spread out to cover a larger and larger area.
