Dingles (race)

== Description ==
Dingles, a semi-aquatic species with a human-level intelligence crash landed on earth in 500BC. The first ground layer of their planet, Euler, erupted in a massive explosion, sending hundreds of millions of them flying into space, where a couple thousand had coincidentally found themselves headed directly onto their neighboring planet Earth. Once found by the inhabitants, they were enslaved for several hundred decades before gaining equal rights and power by having a line of offspring with humans, creating a whole new subspecies. The average age of death for a healthy Dingle is 353. Since life on Earth, Dingles have had a tradition of surgically attaching a starfish (of the recipient's choosing) onto the faces of 16-year-old males. Females get this procedure once/if she has offspring. 
== Appearance ==
Today, because they are now half-mixed with human DNA, Dingles have a more human posture and build, despite still having traits from their ancestors such as pink skin, gills, slightly stubbier necks, and small fins on the face. Females have snail-like antennae, whereas males have a pair of sharp bones on the front of the upper jaw, like fangs but on the outside.
== Abilities/traits ==
=== Tropicality ===
From hiding and living in the ocean coral for decades on Earth, their evolutionary traits of pink skin and multicoloured gills have proven to be a winning trait, and have been kept as a consistent attribute even through centuries of cross-breeding between themselves and humans.
=== Excellent swimmers ===
With an explanation in the text above, Dingles are exceptional swimmers and can accelerate underwater to speeds of about 30 mph. On top of that, they are also drown-resistant, thanks to their gills.
=== Versatile DNA ===
Now that they share DNA with humans, they can also successfully have offspring with other species with similar human DNA, such as demons and angels.
== Immunities ==
=== Space vacuum ===
=== Drowning ===
== Trivia ==
* A hybrid between a Demon and a Dingle is called a Dimog, and the hybrid between an Angel and Dingle is called a Dangal.
* A Dingle with yellow skin is a very rare birth deformity that may occur in Dingles, found in less than 1% of the population. Yellow Dingles, on average, produce twice as much testosterone than the average Dingle, increasing muscle mass and weight gain.
* The planet that the Dingles come from, Euler's name comes from Euler's Number
