Djinn female 03 — The Encounter
Tide-Born Daughter of the Smokeless Fire, Weaver of Drowning Currents · a boss your table can run with almost no prep. SRD 5.1-compatible.
Who Is Djinn female 03
Of the four great houses of the jinn, the smokeless fire that birthed them cooled longest in the daughters of the sea, and from that quenching came the marid-kin of the brine. This one is counted among the proud tide-born, conjured in the old grimoires by sailors who would barter pearls for fair winds and curse those who broke faith. She remembers when the first ships were carved and resents every well dug without offering. Bound by the true names sewn into ancient seals, she will serve a worthy summoner through three petitions, then exact a price drawn in salt and sorrow. Folk of the coast leave bowls of milk and silver at the waterline to keep her favor, for she neither forgives a slight nor forgets a kindness, and the sea obeys her as a courtier obeys a queen. Drown her enemies, she whispers, and the depths will sing your name.
Run Djinn female 03 in Sixty Seconds
- Stage the water Place her in or beside water and start with Liquid Form active so she can't be pinned or flanked; she squeezes through any non-watertight gap.
- Open big Lead with Crushing Surge into the densest knot of PCs for 6d8 and a prone field, then set up Drowning Aura on the choke point.
- Kill-priority Grapple and drag the healer or mobile striker into the aura; ignore fire-users (she resists fire) and hunt anyone who can dispel or boil her.
- When bloodied Lean on Tidal Step to slide grappled prey deeper into the aura, and save Misty Coalescence so a 'killing' blow out of sunlight only knocks her invisible.
- Three ways to run her Brine-controller in a flooded boss lair, a name-bound servitor a worthy summoner can petition, or a vengeful sea-spirit punishing oath-breakers at the waterline.
Djinn female 03
Medium elemental, chaotic neutral
CR 6 · 2,300 XP · GUIDELINEDrowning Aura. Signature. A shroud of living water hangs about the djinn. A creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of her, or enters that space for the first time on a turn, takes acid damage (see tier table) and has its speed halved until the start of its next turn unless it succeeds on a Constitution save against her spell DC.
Liquid Form. The djinn can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing, and can pass through any opening that is not watertight. She can enter a hostile creature's space and stop there.
Misty Coalescence. If reduced to 0 hit points while not in sunlight, the djinn instead drops to 1 hit point and bursts into spray once per day, becoming invisible until the start of her next turn.
Actions
Multiattack. The djinn makes two Coiling Lash attacks, or makes one Coiling Lash attack and uses Crushing Surge.
Coiling Lash. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 15) by a tendril of water if it is Large or smaller.
Crushing Surge. The djinn hurls a fist of compressed water at a point she can see within 60 ft. Each creature within 10 ft. makes a Dexterity save against her spell DC, taking 27 (6d8) bludgeoning damage on a failure and being knocked prone, or half damage and remaining standing on a success.
Bonus Actions & Reactions
Tidal Step (Reaction). When a creature ends its movement within 10 ft. of the djinn, she may slide it 10 ft. in any direction along the ground (no save if it is grappled by her).
She stands wreathed in cold blue light, coral-scaled plates at her shoulders and shins, a spiked crown of frozen spray upon her brow and both hands raised to summon the deep. Where she walks, water rises to meet her like a loyal hound.

How It Fights — by Tier
Same creature, scaled threat. The traits never change; only the numbers move.
Open with Crushing Surge into the tightest cluster, then hold the choke with Drowning Aura so the party fights in halved-speed mud. Coiling Lash the squishiest caster and drag them out of formation with Tidal Step. Pair her with melee minions or a bigger lair threat; she is a controller add-on, not a stand-alone fight.
Open from water or a doorway so Liquid Form keeps her unflankable, then grapple the front-line healer with Coiling Lash and reel them into the Drowning Aura. Kill-priority is anyone with fire (she resists it) or anyone who can dispel her current. Use Crushing Surge whenever two or more PCs bunch up; pair her with brutes who profit from prone targets.
Run her as the controller anchor of a flooded lair: drop the party into difficult terrain, grapple-and-drown the most mobile striker, and Tidal Step skirmishers into hazards. She is not a solo boss here, pair her with a heavier flagship threat and let her lock down the room while it deals the killing blows. Focus dispellers and anyone who can drain or boil her water.

How a bound creature acts
- A companion acts on its owner's initiative, immediately after the owner.
- It uses the Companion block above — roughly ×0.6 HP and damage, no recharge abilities, and at most one reaction trait.
- It moves freely; it takes its Action only while its owner is conscious.
- At 0 HP a companion is broken, not dead — restored on a long rest unless your table rules otherwise.

Questions, Asked at the Table
What CR is Djinn female 03?
Her home tier is CR 6 (Tier 2, levels 5-10): AC 16, 123 HP, +7 to hit, save DC 15. Scale her down to ~CR 2 for a level 1-4 party or up to ~CR 11 for level 11-15 using the tier table; the traits and tactics stay identical, only the numbers move.
Can Djinn female 03 be a companion or ally?
Yes. A worthy summoner who knows her name-seal can bind her through three petitions, and the sheet includes Naiir, the Bound Tide-Servant, a lesser water servitor (AC 14, 74 HP) who guards your flank, shoves enemies, and quenches fire damage with Quenching Surge.
Is she a solo boss or an add-on?
She is an add-on controller, not a solo centerpiece. She lacks legendary actions, so a four-PC party will out-act her in single combat. Run her alongside minions or a heavier flagship threat and let her lock the battlefield with Drowning Aura, grapples, and forced movement.
