Sahuagin

An amphibious, reptilian race, the first of Iuldar’s reptilian races to evolve. They have fins on their backs and no neck, giving them a fish-like appearance, but they are in fact reptiles. They can’t breath underwater, they can only hold their breath underwater for a very long time (up to seven hours if they perform little activity). They are hunched bipeds with small, finned tails.

The ports and harbors of Iuldar are filled with Sahuagin. They are sometimes considered a nuisance, but are mostly harmless, and are often hired as cheap labor. Wild Sahuagin, on the other hand, are wicked clever trap makers and many wild Sahuagin cultures are not opposed to eating humanoid creatures. Despite their affinity to water, they are poor shipmakers, possibly due to the webs in their hands and feet. Sahuagin magic is fairly unique, in that it is not generated internally. Rather, the Sahuagin have an organ behind their brain that can manipulate the ambient energy directly, in a radius around itself. This magic is fairly weak, however, and Sahuagin can only use elemental magic.
