Sahagin

Sahagin are a fictional race of sentient, humanoid aquatic creatures that commonly appear in fantasy role-playing games and literature. They are typically depicted as fish-like humanoids with scaly skin, webbed hands and feet, and gills. Their appearance often varies, with some interpretations featuring shark-like heads, others resembling more common fish. Sahagin are usually described as living in underwater kingdoms or settlements, often in coral reefs or deep-sea trenches. Their society is frequently portrayed as militaristic and aggressive, with a strong emphasis on survival and territoriality. They are often depicted as adversaries to surface-dwelling races, engaging in raids on coastal settlements or naval vessels. Their motivations can range from simple resource acquisition to a deep-seated hatred of land-dwellers. While often portrayed as monstrous or evil, some depictions may offer more nuanced portrayals, suggesting complex motivations or even internal factions within Sahagin society. Their aquatic nature dictates their physiology and abilities, granting them natural swimming prowess and the ability to breathe underwater. They may also possess other adaptations suited to their environment, such as keen eyesight in low light or a resistance to pressure. Weapons and armor used by Sahagin are often crafted from materials found in their underwater habitats, such as coral, bone, or shells.
