Sahuagin Cultist (Basic Lore)

Sahuagin Cultist (CR 1)
Pure Evil - Small - Monstrous Humanoid
Sahaugin Cultists are the smallest and by far the most terrestrial of the various clades of these aquatic monsters. Sahaugin are often called 'fish men' by the uninitiated, or 'soggy's' by the cruel, but on land, they are not exactly common. In the oceans, sahaugin claim to have vast nations, deep in the briny dark, but for most other races on the land, their exposure to sahaugin are limited to the occasional run-ins with Cultists. Sahaugin cultists are a small, green, white, and brown, lightly-finned riverine variety of these amphibious monsters, and as such, they can be found in bays, estuaries, and rivers all over the world. Indeed, they have been known to journey thousands of miles inland, following rivers and creeks to the most unlikely of places. In larger rivers or lakes, they are often found riding giant sea horses. In creeks and ponds, they must do without, but Cultists are small, mean, things, and will abide this loss. Deep inland, they will move into natural lakes and beaver ponds, or they will do their own damming-up, or weir building, to create water deep enough to be swum in comfortably. Sahaugin are often a plague on communities of grippli, or vanx. In addition, in civilized climes, Cultists can often be found in harbors, even very busy ones, and have been found living happily in sewers and swamps and even high mountain lakes, having explored their way up narrow creeks until they find a place to live. Sahaugin are alien and terrible in their beliefs, and consider themselves the deadly enemies of everything that walks the dry land. Once Cultists have established a reasonable settlement, they will begin sneaking and raiding, looking to kill everything on the land. Sahaugin have tried many times to be allies to the Grippli and Vanx, but those races have the Spark of Civility, and as soon as the Sahaugins reveal their frankly insane hatreds, such advances are rejected out of hand. Sahaugin Cultists are the very worst of bad neighbors, and they would have it no other way.
