Lightning. A creature that touches the lightning elemental or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 7 (2d6) lightning damage.

Water Susceptibility. For every 5 feet that the lightning elemental moves in water, or for every gallon of water splashed on it, it takes 1 cold damage.

Actions

Multiattack. The lightning elemental makes two slam attacks.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) lightning damage.

Lightning Bolt. Ranged Spell Attack: +6 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d8 + 4) lightning damage.

Globe Lightning (1/Long Rest). The lightning elemental discharges 3 globes of electricity that hover in its space for 1 minute. Whenever a creature enters or starts its turn within 5 feet of the elemental, one of the globes discharges. The target must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 (1d6 + 4) lightning damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much damage on a successful one. As each globe discharges, it disappears.
