Sahuagin

|
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the Sahuagin are a fish-like humanoid species that live in underground lakes and underwater caves.
They are usually green skinned, darker on the back and lighter on the belly. Many have dark stripes, bands, or spots, but these tend to fade with age. An adult male sahuagin stands roughly 6 feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds.
They are the natural enemy of aquatic elves. The two cannot coexist peacefully: Wars between them are prolonged, bloody affairs that sometimes interfere with shipping and maritime trade. Sahuagin have an only slightly less vehement hatred for tritons.
Sahuagin speak Sahuagin. With higher Intelligence scores, they can also speak two bonus languages, usually Common and Aquan.
Savage fighters, sahuagin ask for and give no quarter. When swimming, a sahuagin tears with its feet, striking with its talons or a weapon. About half of any group of sahuagin are also armed with nets.
