Monster Rancher 2
Undines are water elementals with very high intelligence, but very low energy, especially when separated from the water. Their water-based techniques tend to be very powerful.

Undine's Lake
Undine appears in the anime series when the Searchers stumble across a lake that she inhabits. Undine is secretly one of Gray Wolf's strongest warriors, and she awakens a romantic interest in Golem (which is ironic because their elements are incompatible).

Undine reveals herself to Golem late one night and distracts him with her beauty while she tells him that if he and his friends want to fish she can pull the water back the next day and create an island for them to fish from.

When the next day comes, however, Undine reveals herself to be a Baddie, and she unleashes a tidal wave, hoping to drown the Searchers in the middle of the lake. Tiger attacks her and together the team pushes her onto dry land where she is weakest. They press the attack, but Golem stops them. He says he will honor their love and his agreement to care for her, but Undine takes advantage of the confusion and attacks again. This time, she spills a pot of oil on herself and a spark from the campfire sets her and the entire embankment ablaze. Realizing that Golem is far too good for her, she chooses to evaporate in the flames, unable to live with her deception and sacrificing herself to end the fire threatening the forest.

Golem picks a bouquet of flowers and throws it into the lake where her lost disc now resides, promising to return for her once the Phoenix has risen.

When the Phoenix is revived and defeats Moo, the Phoenix revives the lost discs of every monster, including Undine.

Physical Appearance
Undine resembles the classical mermaid but her body her fish tail consists of water. Her skin, hair and eyes are varying shades of blue and white robes clothe her upper body.

Powers and Abilities
Undine is able to not only control water, but has total control of her own molecular mass, allowing her to dissipate and reform and also to stretch her limbs like tentacles. She plays the lyre (which was probably a purposeful joke on the animators' part) and can shoot arrows that burst into bright colors like the aurora.
