Sanguana
Physical Description
Sanguana are a remarkable aquatic race, resembling colossal catfish that have adapted to life both underwater and on land. They are notably larger than most humanoid races, with an average height of 10 to 12 feet when fully grown. Sanguana are characterized by their massive round stomachs, which are a source of pride and distinction within their society. Their bodies are sleek, covered in glistening scales that come in a variety of vibrant colors, ranging from deep blues and greens to striking shades of red and orange. Their eyes are large and expressive, usually a shade of gold or amber, allowing them to see well in both murky waters and dimly lit environments.CULTURE AND SOCIETY
The Sanguana are a deeply communal and spiritual race, often living in close-knit, extended family groups known as "pods." They value harmony and cooperation and are renowned for their peaceful nature. Their society is centered around water, and they build intricate underwater settlements with luminescent flora and bioluminescent creatures to light their way. Sanguana are known for their exquisite craftsmanship, creating intricate jewelry and tools from the treasures they collect from the depths.
