Homebrew Aquythraen Species Details

Aquythraen were the original inhabiting race of the world of Phinnubis, before a disaster happened and caused the race to be mostly wiped out, the water level of the planet drop, and countries rose up from the deep. Before becoming the countries the world now knows.

Aquythraen have webbed and clawed hands and feet, small fins on their calves and forearms, and scales that are iridescent in appearance. They have tri-pointed bony webbed ears, and gills that are able to be hidden when not in use. As long as the gills are in their hidden state Aquythraen can breathe just fine on land. Aquythraen do not need to be submerged periodically in water to continue living on land.
