Homebrew Aarongar Species Details

Aarongar are fish humanoids born of experimentation. They have a pointed shark head and a large dorsal fin. They have only a thick trunk of a neck which connects to their human-like torso. They have thick humanoid arms ending with webbed hands Their legs are thick and stumpy and their feet are the thick end of a flipper. They have only a small bit of a tailbone rather than a tail. Aarongar bodies are completely covered in smooth sharkskin, with colors ranging from albino, blue, grey and black, and always have white undersides. Their eyes are that of a shark but can be a variety of colors, like a human iris. They also have tongues, unlike a shark. They are often hostile creatures, and often do not take kindly to other species coming into their lands. Thus, they are reclusive and have little interaction with other races. Being territorial, they are prone to attack outsiders who come too close. This comes mainly out of their destructive instinct, which can be a struggle for them to control, when rage is so easy to elicit. However, at their best, they are just a bit recalcitrant to come out of their shells, showing their more human nature. They are known to undertake spiritual exercises to vent out their instinct and maintain acuity of the mind, particularly when away from home.
