Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

Sahuagins are fish-like demi-humans that have many similarities with the more common Mermen. The difference is that the Sahuagins are more tribal in comparison and would stay away from the rest of humanity. Due to this, Sahuagins are often treated like monsters, but only in cases when they are actively aggressive towards mankind.

Appearance:

Sahuagins have a humanoid body that is covered in fish shells that can be of any color from blue to sea-green, and webbed hands and feet.

Unlike the Mermen species, their heads are that of random fish species, and they also have a sea serpent-like tail and sharp claws.

Abilities:

Danger rank: F+ (E+ while in water)

Rarity rank: E+

Sahuagins are strong in hand-combat, with shamanistic spells, and are generally talented with water-related attributes. Their webbed limbs give them an advantage when fighting in the ocean or other large bodies of water.

Between other water-living creatures, the Sahuagin is among the land-walking ones who show the biggest difference between when they are fighting on land or in the water.

A Sahuagin's preferred weapon is the trident and casting net. Due to this, they are also talented fishermen as well as warriors. They can also tame sea creatures like sharks, octopi, and sea snakes.

The weakness of the Sahuagin is that their powers are extremely limited in dry environments like in a volcano or the desert. Water is their lifeline in more ways than a normal human.

K-N's comment: This explains the dryness of the 7th floor. The monster-army cannot afford to give the Sahuagin's any upper hand.

Garami's comment: No kidding. The only way to beat the walking fishies is to fight them on dry land. Dry fish tastes awful though.
