Description
The Sahuagin are a predatory fish-man race that feature green coloration, darker along the back and lighter on the belly. An adult male sahuagin stands roughly 6 feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds. One out of every ten sahuagins is a sergeant of 3+3 HD and every band is led by a chieftain of 4+4 HD. A lair is ruled by a king of 6+6 HD with one 3+3 HD bodyguard for each sergeant.
A sahuagin can sense movement underwater within a 30-foot radius. It speaks its own language, as well as Common and usually one other language. A sahuagin can survive out of the water for 1d8 hours before dying from exposure. A sahuagin tears with its feet as it strikes with its talons or with a weapon. About half of any group of sahuagin are also armed with nets.
A sahuagin fully immersed in fresh water must succeed on a saving throw against poison or become fatigued. Even on a success, it must repeat the saving throw attempt every 10 minutes it remains immersed. Abrupt exposure to bright light blinds a sahuagin for 1d4 rounds. On subsequent rounds, it is dazzled while operating in bright light.
