Editing Skum (section)

In [[Pathfinder]], [[Paizo]] decided to double-down on the [[Deep One]] similarities to skum. Originally called the ''Ulat-kini'', skum are the fallen remnants of a race of all-male man-fish engineered from human slaves through [[aboleth]] [[fleshcrafting]]. They were once the most ubiquitous and prized of the aboleth's slave-races, but as the aboleths fell into decline, the skum were mostly abandoned, and now generally eke out a degenerate living as primitive tribals in various watery regions of the world - ironically, these "masterless" skum actively hate their former gods, and will refuse to serve them again. In contrast, in the Sightless Sea of Orv in the [[Underdark|Darklands]], aboleths still retain command over civilized skum, and have even bred specialized subspecies of skum to do their bidding.

The skum of [[Golarion]] are biologically immortal, but their lack of female skum means they must mate with human women - either bribed with treasure or simply raped - to propagate their species. Their sons are always either skum, or disfigured humans who transform into skum as they age.

Whilst they were a big deal in the early days of Pathfinder, they've kind of been overshadowed ever since ''actual'' Deep Ones became a monster.
