The water wyrd's upper body is that of a humanoid, while its lower body forms a turbulent, watery vortex. The facial features of the elemental creature are vague and shifting, rippling with every contortion of its face. Sloshing and splashing noises accompany each movement of the water wyrd, along with an odd gurgling.[1]

Other information

The water wyrd has a maneuver attack, shooting a blast of water. This can be successfully avoided:

The water wyrd closes its eyes and draws in on itself, arms crossed over its aqueous torso.
Suddenly its eyes flash open and it hurls a blast of water at you!

With a quick duck to the side you easily dodge the watery blast!
Roundtime: 3 sec.

Or not:

The water wyrd closes its eyes and draws in on itself, arms crossed over its aqueous torso. Suddenly its eyes flash open and it hurls a blast of water at you!

Your attempt to dodge the water jet is a moment too slow, and the powerful bolt strikes squarely, flattening you!
   ... 5 points of damage!
   Upward thrust lifts you several inches off the ground.
   You are stunned for 1 round!
Roundtime: 7 sec.

The water wyrd leaves no corpse, instead collapsing into a puddle of water:

The water wyrd gurgles eerily and collapses into a puddle of water.

And sometimes leaving behind a gem in the process:

The glimmer of an iridescent pearl catches your eye as the water wyrd gurgles eerily and collapses into a puddle of water.
