Blood Frenzy.

The sahuagin has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn’t have all its hit points.

Limited Amphibiousness.

The sahuagin can breathe air and water, but it needs to be submerged at least once every 4 hours to avoid suffocating.

Shark Telepathy.

The sahuagin can magically command any shark within 120 feet of it, using a limited telepathy.

Multiattack. The sahuagin makes two melee attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws or spear.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) piercing damage.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) slashing damage.

Spear. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage, or 5 (1d8 + 1) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack.

“In the abyssal depths, where light falters and pressure crushes, the Sahuagin prowl, a ravenous piscine race of the ocean’s expanse.”

Often dubbed the “devils of the deep”, sahuagins are formidable aquatic marauders, known for their territorial aggression.

Shark Kin. With sleek, green-scaled bodies and sharp, fin-like protrusions, sahuagins resemble a menacing blend of humanoid and shark. Their eyes, a piercing black, allow them to see even in the murkiest of waters, and their jagged teeth can rend flesh with ease.

Oceanic Raiders. Driven by a combination of hunger and a desire for dominance, sahuagins are notorious for their raids on both ships and coastal settlements. They have a particular hatred of elves that live in, on, or near the sea.

Deep Devotion. Bound by a fierce loyalty to their god, Sekolah, the sahuagins live in a theocratic society. Their leaders are often clerics or chosen ones, guiding the shoal in their god’s name, emphasizing brutality and conquest.

Martial Mastery. Despite their feral reputation, sahuagins exhibit complex battle tactics, using their numbers, environment, and innate aquatic abilities to set deadly traps and ambushes for their foes.
