Caoineag

Caoineags are creatures of Faerie.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Caoineags are quadrupedal with scaled bodies and fish-like heads. They have sharp teeth and claws. They also have both gills and lungs, allowing them to breathe on land as well as underwater. They also have a special organ that gives them the ability to make a sound that sounds almost exactly the same as a Fae woman crying.

Genetics and Reproduction

Caoineags reproduce sexually and are oviparous. Their incubation period is five months and their eggs are typically laid in clutches of five to seven.

Ecology and Habitats

Caoinieags generally live in or close to bodies of water.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Caoineags are strictly carnivorous. They are unusual in that they only hunt people. Their typical method of hunting is to conceal themselves in a lake, pond, or river, use the sound they can make to lure someone towards them, then attack.
