Category:Sahuagin Race

From DDO Compendium

Sahuagin are a fish-like monstrous humanoid species that lives in oceans, seas, underground lakes, and underwater caves.

Although the correct term to address them as a race was sahuagin, those that fear or despised them usually called them sea devils or even more derisively, fish heads.

Sahuagin are usually green skinned; darker on the back and lighter on the belly. Many have dark stripes, bands, or spots, but these tends to fade with age. An adult male sahuagin stand roughly 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and weigh about 200 pounds (91 kilograms). Sahuagin are highly fish-like, with webbed feet and hands, gills, and a finned tail. There is additional webbing down the back, at the elbows and, notably, also where human ears would be. Some sahuagin develop towering physiques, reaching 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall. The larger beings usually rise to higher positions, as the savage nature of the sahuagin enable challenges to the death for higher status.
