Ecology
Sahuagin are an aquatic species inhabiting deep coastal trenches and offshore reefs. They build coral-walled cities, organize themselves under priestesses of a shark-god, and raid surface settlements at the new moon. They breathe water but can survive air for hours. Sahuagin are oviparous; eggs are kept in temple nurseries until hatching, then segregated by perceived destiny. Mutants are killed or used as slaves.
Behaviour
Sahuagin are militant, racial-supremacist, and xenophobic. They obey priestesses absolutely, raid in coordinated war parties, and torture prisoners for information and sport. Their language, Sahuagin, is harsh and uses blood-color signals underwater. They fear and respect sharks, treating them as living weapons; many warriors bear shark-tooth scars from initiation rituals.
Origin
Sahuagin claim descent from an ancient sea-fiend who blessed them with claws and bloodlust. Surface scholars debate whether they are aberrations of earlier aquatic humanoids or fiend-blooded creations. The shark-god they worship is a true demonic power that grants visions to priestesses. Sahuagin uprisings often coincide with cosmic alignments tied to this god, prophesied centuries in advance.
