====Phinmin====

Much of the southern oceans are inhabited by the Phinmin, shy yet highly intelligent creatures. Any details about their culture are scarce and up to speculation. Some believe they have large complex cities made of coral and rock at the bottom of the ocean. Others say they can morph to have legs and walk about on uncharted islands and sand bars. Others say they are little more than creepy beasts.

They are known to change their behavior and temperament with the cycles of the moon. When waxing, they are docile and even helpful to fishers and sailors lost at sea. When the moon wanes, however, they become highly aggressive. They will swarm any being made of flesh in their waters and both devour and rape them without remorse or pause. With the new moon, they become a plague on nearly every southern port or ship, appearing in vast numbers and engaging in an orgy or violence and perversion.
