Charcharions
C
harcharions are shark-like humanoids that live in
underwater cities made of coral and other
underwater structures. Some Charcharions also
make their homes in sunken ships and ancient
underwater ruins. Even though Charcharions live
in cities with others, they tend to lead solitary
lives when outside of the city, never having an
interest in being around others. Charcharions have no
interest in romance and only take mates to reproduce and
once they've reproduced they tend to move on to another city
and location in Faerun.
Even though they spend a lot of time underwater,
Charcharions can walk on land, as long as they submerge
themselves in water for a couple hours a day, as not doing
this can lead to severe exhaustion and even death for them.
They are extremely carnivirous and have been known to
eat and devour the other races and creatures of Faerun that
have swam in their domain. They are a brutal and violent
race and are generally left alone by the other ocean-based
races in Faerun, and are known for being highly territorial
and will fight to the death if someone trespasses on their
lands and in their homes.
Charcharions are known for their love of the sea with a
notoroius amount of them taking sea-faring careers, most
usually falling under piracy.
