Talokanil

Talokanil are the inhabitants of the underwater kingdom of Talokan. They are descended from an enhanced group of humans from Yucatán who consumed an underwater herb infused with vibranium.
==History==
===Origins===
In 900 A.D., a clan defected from , Chiapas, Mexico and eventually made their way to the Yucatán, where they soon found a way to farm in water. They also started writing a bible that would became 440 pages long.The Art of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
The Talokanil came to be when their Mayan ancestors in Yucatán swallowed a concoction created from a vibranium-infused plant which altered their physiology, changing their skins blue, making them able to breathe in water but no longer in air. The first Talokanil to be born after their transformation was Namor, who was born a mutant with winged feet and the ability to breathe air.Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
===Monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D.===
Talokanil activity was marked as a "hot-spot" monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. By 2010, their activity in the Atlantic Ocean was displayed in the holographic maps used by the organization to oversee those activities.Wakanda Forever: The Official Black Panther Podcast
===War with Wakanda===
====Ambush on the Harvey Sub-Sea====
With Vibranium being exposed to the world by Wakanda, the Talokanil were under pressure as political superpowers like the United States of America tried to gain the metal for themselves. The USA used a Vibranium Detector made by Riri Williams to detect Vibranium under the ocean. Namor and Talokan's military, led by Attuma, arrived at Harvey Sub-Sea and attacked. They killed Henderson, Smitty, and other Navy SEAL members in water on board, while Namor killed Graham and the pilot by throwing them into water.
====Meeting Shuri====
Namor arrived at Wakanda to meet Shuri and Ramonda, telling them to find the scientist, the one that created the detector, and bring her to him. Namor sent his subordinates to capture her. After the Talokanil soldiers killed the police officers and Attuma defeated Okoye, they successfully captured Williams and took Shuri with them to Talokan.
====Attack on Wakanda====
After arriving in Namor's cenote, he took Shuri with him to explore his kingdom of Talokan. Nakia eventually snuck into the cave, killed the Talokanil, and rescued both Riri Williams and Shuri. After that, Namor arrived back and had a meeting in the Capital City, letting them know to prepare for war against Wakanda. Namor led his army into Wakanda and flooded the Golden City as the invaded. While the Talokanil attacked every civilian in the city, Namor flew up and attacked the aircrafts in the sky. Once he finished attacking the aircrafts, he approached Ramonda and Williams in the Citadel and threw the Hydrobombs towards them, killing Ramonda and ending the invasion.
====Talokanil vs Wakandans====
The Talokanil spotted another detector, but it emitted a loud pulse, causing Namor and his army to swim to surface, where they saw a ship carrying the Wakandans onboard and battling against them. After Shuri defeated Namor, they made an alliance and the Talokanil returned home.
====Returning Home====
After the battle, Namor appeared in his cenote, painting a new mural on his wall reflecting his conflict with Wakanda. Namora arrived in his cave, disappointed at him for allying with Wakanda, but Namor reassured her that someday when Wakanda would come into conflict with other surface worlds, they would help them.
==Technology and Weapons==
Like Asgardians, Talokanil technology has a primitive facade that belies its highly advanced nature. But unlike the Asgardians, instead of being fused with magic, their technology is made from the material known as vibranium, located in the same region where the species was born, thanks to an impact of a meteorite loaded with that mineral, which allowed them to advance much faster than human civilization. They have vibranium spears and respirators to enable them to breathe on the surface without having to draw to oxygen from water. They also have a light source made of vibranium called Sastun that allows to illuminate Talokan Capital City. This technology rivals that of the human nation of Wakanda, as their technologies are made of the same material.
They also have much more advanced scientific knowledge than humans, as they discovered the mutant gene long before humans, with Namor himself being aware of his mutant status.
==Characteristic Traits==
The Talokanil possess enhanced strength, durability, speed, agility, endurance stamina, reflexes, a regenerative healing factor, and the ability to breathe underwater; however, they cannot breathe air and have to wear respirators when going on land, the exception being Namor due to his Mutant physiology. Their skin is blue when they go to the surface due to the way their body processes oxygen, but underwater, they are more human since they were humans who were mutated after consuming the underwater herb which was infused with Vibranium.
The Talokanil apparently have some sort of telepathic connection to marine life, being able to ride whales and use them to carry large structures or heavy objects. They are also able to wall-crawl all kinds of structures and emit a siren-like singing of a hypnotic nature with their voices, which will make anyone who heard it jump into the water.

==Trivia==
*In the comics, the Atlanteans (Homo mermanus) are generally depicted as the descendants of ancient humans from the small continent of Atlantis, which was submerged during a -like calamity called the "Great Cataclysm" 20,000 years ago (circa 18,000 BC). Exactly how said humans became aquatic is subject to much debate, with various storylines presenting multiple possible explanations, varying from divine intervention to magic to natural evolution. Another more recent storyline claims that they originally evolved on the of Vodan, and later migrated from it to Earth through a secret deep underwater passage that connects the two worlds, though the history of their migration to Earth is all but lost.
