Deep Ones

Deep Ones are humanoid-like fish creatures from the depths of the world's oceans. They are very strong, sentient, and live in a tribal society. Deep Ones normally keep to themselves but they are hostile to those who invade their territories at the bottom of the ocean.
== Facts: ==
-The Deep Ones are a slave-race that serves their god Dagon. Dagon is not one of the Pagan Gods but is, in fact, a Primordial from whom they are decended. Making the Deep Ones themselves a race of Lesser Primordials
-Deep Ones are physically robust, ranging in height from midget-sized to nine feet tall. They bipedal and have a physiology that is humanoid in mechanical build, but they are aquatic, fish-like creatures equipped with gills, talons, bulbous fish eyes, and fins. Their reproduction system is piscine as well, with females laying egg-clusters in water to be fertilized by males.
-Deep Ones rarely come up to the surface, choosing instead to remain below the waves, deep in the primordial darkness of the bottom of the world's oceans. A few intrepid Deep Ones may venture 'inland' by swimming up rivers and into lakes, but these voyages are often brief. However, it should be noted that some Deep Ones have established permanent 'colonies' in the larger lakes of the world, such as the Great Lakes of North America, Africa, and some in Russia.
-There are 32 known Deep One 'cities' nestled in lightless trenches across the globe. These cities are vast complexes, forming a civilization all their own underneath the ocean. Visitors to such places are not usually welcomed, with fierce Deep One patrols guarding them.
-Deep Ones aren't too bright - they are a slave race, built to be physically tough, hard to kill, and easy to command. While Dagon is their forefather, the Deep Ones have been known to worship and follow other Primordials as well, most notably the ever infamous Cthulhu.
-The Deep Ones have battled the Mermaids for control of the world oceans since time immemorial. While the Deep Ones have managed to build their cities in the trenches, they have never been able to expand outward, nor have they been able to defeat and subjugate the race of Mermaids. This is because, while Deep Ones are larger and stronger, they lack the magickal might of the Mermaids who routinely use spells, charms and magick weapons against them.
