Fishmen, Deep Ones, Y’ha-nthlei, are an ancient race of fish-men that dwells underground and harbors a deep hatred of surface dwellers and sunlight. A Y’ha-nthlei presents a cold and horrible appearance. A typical specimen looks much like a human body, albeit a paunchy one, covered in scales and topped with a fish’s head. The huge fish eyes tend to swivel in different directions when observing an area or creature. The hands and feet are very long, with three fingers and an opposing digit, partially webbed. The legs and arms are short for the body size. Its coloration is pale grey, with undertones of tan or yellow in males only. The skin has a sheen from its slimy covering. The color darkens when the Y’ha-nthlei is angry and pales when it is badly frightened. A strong odor of dead fish follows it around.
