Amphibianfused
Agile. Colorful. Surprising. Amphibianfused use their frog like qualities to move adroitly both on land and in water.
History
Created to combat Dragons who dwelt within watery terrains. An expendable force employed as aquatic scouts and vanguard in battle.
After the Human Dragon war, the Amphibianfused migrated away from Human controlled land and into the oceans. They made poor neighbors with the other aquatic species, most notably Elves. After many unfortunate encounters, the Elves and Amphibianfused went to war. The Elves managed to slowly force back the Amphibianfused. Their retreat followed the major rivers into the lakes and seas that they now call their home. Although long ago, the war has left relations between the two species unsavory. Oddly, most land based species seem unaware of the events outside of academic circles.
Culture
Amphibianfused are independent, with weak familial ties. Their loyalties are fickle, without fierce loyalty to kin or nation. They are apathetic toward politics and have developed a notorious reputation among the other species for their insubstantial friendships. With this however, they ask very little from those around them and expect nothing beyond what they can get for themselves.
They enjoy the freedom of flexibility. They value spending their time as they wish, without rigid regard to schedules. Many live transient lives to avoid being locked down. They approve of those who express patience and are capable of adapting to situations. Though raw skill and displays of expertise do little to impress them.
Physicality
Slimy skin with bright colorful patches cover Amphibianfused. Their flat heads have large eyes and wide mouths. Their limbs are long and sinuous. The tips of their long fingers bulge slightly.
Physical Heritage
Large eyes and colorfully patched skin betrays Amphibianfused blood.
"I must carry on. The others will know what happened here."
