As Deep Ones possess immensely long, if not infinite, lifespans, this is seen as a great blessing; once they have transformed, the former hybrid is functionally immortal.

	'''Deep Ones''' are one of the more famous and iconic monsters to come out of the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. First appearing the Lovecraft story "The Shadow over Innsmouth", the Deep Ones are a race of amphibious humanoids - described as looking like a humanoid amalgamation of fish and frog - who inhabit the depths of the oceans, where they worship [[Cthulhu]] and other Great Old Ones. Ironically, Deep Ones are amongst the more human denizens of the hidden darkness; they pursue a lifestyle not that different to humans, seeking comfort, wealth and the chance to do what their cults consider "good deeds". As such, they are capable of conducting diplomacy with humans and forming alliances; the precedent set by Innsmouth amounts to the Deep Ones offering good harvests of fish and bounties of treasure retrieved from the ocean's bottom in exchange for conversion to their faith and other acts of allegiance.

They keep any humans within their towns subservient and cowed, making sure those other residents know better than to act against local laws. Though deep ones are devoutly religious, they usually cloak their true beliefs under a facade of more conventional worship, believing that by doing so they can avoid suspicion from visitors and nearby societies.
