IF IT IS LARGE OR SMALLER, IT IS ALSO GRAPPLED (ESCAPE DC 14). UNTIL THIS GRAPPLE ENDS, THE TARGET IS RESTRAINED AND UNABLE TO BREATHE UNLESS IT CAN BREATHE WATER. IF THE SAVING THROW IS SUCCESSFUL, THE TARGET IS PUSHED OUT OF THE ELEMENTAL’S SPACE. THE ELEMENTAL CAN GRAPPLE ONE LARGE CREATURE OR UP TO TWO MEDIUM OR SMALLER CREATURES AT ONE TIME WITH THIS ABILITY.
