'''Merfolk''' are a gentle, aquatic race of humanoids that resemble fish, amphibians, and other aquatic animals. Unlike Reptilians and Beastkin, their respiratory and reproductive biology can vary, with some merfolk laying eggs and breathing through gills like fish, while others breathe with lungs and give birth, like dolphins and whales. | '''Merfolk''' are a gentle, aquatic race of humanoids that resemble fish, amphibians, and other aquatic animals.

Merfolk are the most adept race at swimming, and can typically stay underwater without surfacing for days at a time. Adversely, they’re significantly weakened on land, and exhaust their energy significantly quicker than in the water. This stark difference in living environment has led to contact between merfolk and non-merfolk races to be significantly hampered, leading to merfolk being less militaristic and more innately amicable than other races. | Merfolk are the most adept race at swimming, and can typically stay underwater without surfacing for days at a time.
