### Special Abilities

- **Amphibious:** The haleshi can breathe air and water.
- **Charming Defense:** While the haleshi is wearing no armor and wielding no shield, its AC includes its Charisma modifier (included in the Armor Class).
- **Innate Spellcasting:** The haleshi's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
3/day each: charm person, invisibility (self only)
1/day each: major image, water walk, zone of truth

### Actions

- **Multiattack:** The haleshi makes two attacks with its stupefying touch.
- **Stupefying Touch:** Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d8 + 3) psychic damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw or be incapacitated until the end of its next turn.
- **Clamport (3/Day):** The haleshi touches a clam within 5 feet of it, which enlarges and swallows the haleshi and up to three willing Medium or smaller creatures within 15 feet of the haleshi. The clam then teleports to a body of water the haleshi has visited that is large enough to hold the clam's passengers and releases them. After releasing the passengers, the clam returns to normal.

### Reactions

- **Water Shield (Recharge 5-6):** The haleshi adds 3 to its AC against one attack that would hit it. To do so, the haleshi must be within 5 feet of a gallon or more of water. Alternatively, if the haleshi would take fire damage from an attack or spell, it can negate that damage if it is within 5 feet of a gallon or more of water.
