Kirgs

Kirgs are mindless creations of Maritime formed from her will and used as a means to intimidate and oppress those that displease her as well as to attend to menial tasks she feels are below her - in many ways Kirgs are the Undertide's version of Hell's imps but are much larger and almost completely mindless.
Kirgs are rarely seen outside the Undertide but do venture into the ocean and even dry land when requested to do so by their dark mistress - tales of misshapen monsters emerging from the deep would captive the minds of mankind ever since they first gazed upon the Kirgs and although most consider them a fanciful myth told to frighten children into not wandering near the sea at night some people are aware of their existence and treat them with equal respect and fear.
===Origins===
Kirgs are said to be formed when Maritime manages to seduce a victim to sell their soul to her, granting her the ability to mutate their soulless husks into the demonic creatures they are today - whether this is true or not is unknown but whatever the case once formed a Kirg is totally submissive to Maritime's will, to the point of resembling zombies to outside eyes.
===Traits===
Kirgs are fully aquatic but prefer to lurk in the coldest, deepest and most remote parts of the ocean as it reminds them of the environment in the Undertide - they can see perfectly well in the darkness of the sea and are completely unaffected by pressure, temperature-extremes or strong currents - however they are known to recoil from bright light and can't spend more than ten hours out of the water without shrivelling up and ultimately dying. Kirgs are vicious carnivores and will even turn cannibalistic if they can't find a suitable food-source but are particularly fond of two kinds of meat: fish and human. They are usually hunched and covered in thick-scales that secrete a foul-smelling slime that makes them hard to cut or graze but also makes it highly unpleasant to be near them: their fangs are capable of shredding through bone and their bite-pressure is strong enough to bend steel, although awkward on land they are amazing swimmers and have very powerful legs as a result, capable of delivering powerful kicks when angered.
They tend to be around 3 to 4ft tall and resemble hunchbacked humans with enlongated arms and legs, webbed-fingers and toes, sharp claws and rows of fangs as well as a pair of gills under their chin - they also have no body hair but small fins that run down the middle of their head a bit like a mohawk.
