Selkie

Although known from the southern subcontinent of Girion, Selkies did not range so far north until recently. Their swimming skill makes it easy for them to navigate the reefs and currents around the Isle of Fright; a migrating tribe of them has settled there. Selkies are creatures of the sea, but can also exist on land. Some say that they are shape-shifters and can make themselves look like ordinary seals, or take human form to seduce humans. Others say that the Selkies cannot change shape but merely cast a glamor over humans, making them appear as normal seals or humans. Although frightening, those who have met the Selkies say that they are not bloodthirsty and will even help mariners in distress. Their small army is admired for its amphibian versatility and for the terror it evokes in the enemy.
