Boys have a dozen kinds of elves in their homebrew setting. Men have a dozen kinds of fishpeople.

D6The fish these locathah most resemble are 
1 catfish.
2 goldfish.
3 parrotfish.
4 tuna.
5 pufferfish.
6salmon.

D6These locathah have 
1 antifreeze blood that lets them survive very low temperatures, even going into suspended animation rather than simply dying if frozen solid.
2 pharyngeal jaws that can launch out some distance from their mouths.
3 electric organs that can sense electric fields and give electric shocks.
4 the habit of brooding their young in their mouths, and tend to talk like they’ve got a mouth full of marbles.
5 the ability to change colours to camouflage themselves.
6bioluminescent patches they can flash as a lure or signal to others.

D6These locathah live 
1 in ships that resemble water striders, skating across the waves with wing-like sails. The cabins within them are kept full of water by siphons that run up the ships’ legs.
2 in iridescent bubble-domes at the bottom of bodies of water.
3 in sargasso-mat towns suspended within stable whirlpools by ingenious systems of buoys and Archimede’s screws.
4 in palaces of packed-silt bricks built hanging off the sides of continental shelves. Construction on them is constant as the lower levels are always falling off into the abyss.
5 in yurts of dolphin-bone and fish-leather.
6in pyramids of shells mortared with marine slug slime.

D6These locathah mostly interact with surface-dwellers 
1 to trade baubles and novelties.
2 to kidnap sacrifices to offer to devouring aquatic god-monsters, so that they don’t have to sacrifice their own people.
3 by being hunted for their delicious meat.
4 as guides for and pirates of ships in difficult waters.
5 by salvaging wrecks for them.
6by harvesting kelp, coral, and colourful marine snails for them.

D6These locathah want 
1 someone to bring the corpse of their honoured elder on a sacred (and dangerous) migration back to the point they believe their species was created.
2 the source of a curse that’s preventing their eggs from hatching to be discovered.
3 a child that was mistakenly stolen away by a fishing vessel to be rescued.
4 the crown jewels of the undersea kingdom they claim descent from to be recovered from their ruined capital so they can bring legitimacy to their claimant to the kingdom’s fallen throne.
5 someone to test their amphibious operations suits so they can make fat cash from landlubber mercenary contracts.
6someone to sabotage an enemy clan’s champion in an upcoming wrestling match that will determine territorial rights for the next decade.

D6These locathah can offer you (or you might steal from them) 
1 smooth, water-worn beads of coloured glass.
2 razor-sharp nacreous knives and spear-heads, that can cut you so finely you might bleed out before you realized it.
3 trained barracuda “hunting hounds”.
4 eel-spine darts that are so hydrodynamic they can be fired as easily underwater as on land.
5 domesticated giant crab mounts.
6caviar, fugu, milt, and all the other delicacies of the sea.
