Homebrew Carcharodon Species Details
Birthed from magical meddling with coastal sharks, the Carcharodon's are a bipedal race, equally equipped to live on land or in the water. They have kept their tail, gills and mighty jaws, but adapted arms and legs for life on land. Preferring to live in small, coastal tribes, they are not often seen in the towns or cities of other races. They are superstitious and warlike, and often fight with rival tribes for goods, land, or entertainment.
