Piscine Humanoids are a type of beast man or ancient folk that have characteristics of fish or amphibians they appear in folklore, myths, legends and fiction.
History[]
Fish Folk are humanoid, possessing two arms and legs. they have smooth and hard skin, much thicker than the human one, with scales in certain places. Their skin is usually brightly colored, with some possessing stripes or patterns similar to certain species of fish. Their muscles are very powerful, adapted for swimming against powerful currents. Their hands and feet are webbed, and some have fins on their forearm, calf and back. Their height is only slightly larger than the average human. Their feet are sometimes digitigrade, allowing them to swim more efficiently. They have a long tail, that ends in either a fish tail or different types of fins. Some may have fins along the tail as well. This tail is somewhat prehensile, although its movements are rather stiff. Their face is human - like, and they have fin - like ears of various lengths. Both males and females have either fins or fin - like spikes/scales, of various colors, acting as "hair". The "hair" of females is usually longer. On the sides of their body, along their ribs, they possess a various number of gills, usually three or four pairs. However, they also possess a pair of fully functional lungs. Thus, they are actually amphibious in nature, able to change from lung to gill respiration upon leaving the water. While this allows them to stay on land for quite some time, their lungs are not perfect, and they will need to return to the water for a time, to hydrate themselves and their gills. Otherwise, they might suffocate. Their diet varies, with most being herbivores or omnivores.
Description[]
Fish People are a specific category of (usually) intelligent, underwater fantasy species. While they're humanoids (one head, two arms, two legs), they don't look human at all; their bodies, especially the faces, have a fish-like/reptilian appearance.
