Sahuagin

The Sahuagin are a race of water-dwelling humanoids that concurrently emerged from the depths of several aquatic domains. Although very similar racially, the sahuagin from the oceanic depths of the Proving Grounds are very different from those of Atlantis, those from Oceanus Decarus, and the many other conclaves from which the seafolk squirm onto land.

Coming from small, insular tribes where the law dictates order and order ensures survival, many sahuagin have difficulties fitting in with the other races of Alyria, despite their intelligence, frequent respect for authority and heightened sense of religiosity.

Although they are technically ichthyoid verbtebrates, the shark-like sahuagin have developed biological processes that permit them to function out of water for long periods of time. Possessing both strong tails and bipedal legs, the sahuagin are awkward out of water and unmatched within it. When in water, sahuagin enjoy heightened healing and magical regeneration, and innately breathe underwater. Sahuagin fundamentally understand with and can control water, possessing the natural skills of feeding, regenerate cartilage, flood and hydroblast. In addition, they are naturally very strong fighters when equipped with staves.
