Sahuagin

Sahuagin are an aquatic humanoid race that live beneath the waters of the Minnegate Ocean. The sahuagin, as a rule, are hostile, though some tribes maintain friendly relationships with specific communities in Mondum, including their relationships with Azurans and the storm giants of Maelstrom.
Most sahuagin feature green coloration, darker along the back and lighter on the belly. Many have dark stripes, bands, or spots, but these tend to fade with age. An adult male sahuagin stands roughly 6 feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds.
Sahuagin are the natural enemy of aquatic elves. The two cannot coexist peacefully: Wars between them are prolonged, bloody affairs that sometimes interfere with shipping and maritime trade. Sahuagin have an only slightly less vehement hatred for tritons.
Sahuagin speak their own language, Sahuagin. Most sahuagin also speak two bonus languages, usually Common and Aquan.
About one in two hundred sahuagin has four arms. Such creatures can make four claw attacks or use extra weapons, in addition to the claw and bite attacks.
If a community of aquatic elves is located within 100 miles of a sahuagin community, about one in one hundred sahuagin looks just like an aquatic elf. These creatures, called malenti, have a swim speed of 40 feet, can remain out of water for hours, and have freshwater sensitivity and light sensitivity (dazzled in bright light). Malenti have no natural attacks. They are otherwise identical with sahuagin.
