The designers of Dungeons & Dragons have often struggled with inventing unique humanoid races to use in aquatic regions. After merfolk and tritons, the general tendency is to take an existing race and just put it underwater.
Koalinth are a perfect example of this process, as they are literally not defined as anything more than "amphibious hobgoblins". That's it, that's the end-sum of their entire existence; common hobgobbos who just happen to breathe water and swim like fish, who want to conquer the seas the way their kinsfolk want to conquer the land.
