Abyssal Merfolk are an aquatic race that dwell in the dark depths of the oceans.
Physical Description: Abyssal Merfolk have the upper bodies of humans and lower bodies of cephalapods, especialy octopi. Most Abyssal Merfolk have no hair, but a few have crests or glowing lures on their heads. Merfolk have specially adapted gills instead of lungs that can breathe both water and air. Their tentacles and water jet allows powerful swimming, but are equally capable of supporting the rest of the body upright on land as they crawl along. (maybe they shouldnt be able to walk on land, not having bones and all?)
Society:
Alignment and Religion: Abyssal Society is militaristic and cruel, and the Abyssal Merfolk's lawful evil alignment is perfectly matched to it. The patron demigod of the Abyssal Mer is Dagobus.
