I was wondering about the possibility of Aquatic based characters. Beings based off of dolphins, whales, sharks and so on. How would they fit into the world view overall? Would they be more akin to mermaids, with their lower bodies remaining based off their original base form, or would they sport legs and tails similar to their land based counterparts? Perhaps they've bred special beasts to serve as their legs while on land if they've got the more mermaid style body type. Would also be interesting to find out how species like squid, and octopi would be depicted.
There are examples of sea-turtles already in the books, and i think i saw a couple other aquatic based beings. I wonder about what sort of skills and abilities an aquatic based being would have to sport. You'd be in a more 3d based world then when on land. Would be interesting to see the contrasts between land-based and aquatic based beings i think. What sort of other senses might be put into play underwater, that wouldn't be found in land-based beings?
Also, going off what been seen on land, would crustaceans take the place of insects as the "monsters" or beasts of burden and such? Or perhaps creatures based off starfish would be the basis instead.
Anyway, just a somewhat random thought that cropped up as was paging through the books gotta sit down and actually read through the lore and such soon!
