The wild people under the waves, called undines, have lived in the songs and stories of sailors for many years.
Born from Water: A tall, willowy people, undines stand about 6 feet tall and weigh up to 120 pounds. They have smooth, moist skin tinged with blue, green, or, rarely, pink, and plain features, with large, dark eyes, two small slits for nostrils, and wide mouths with generous lips. Their skin sometimes shimmers, as if it were covered in fine scales. All have webbing between their fingers and toes.
Elementals: Undines, like other elementals, enjoy a long life span, surviving for two centuries or longer. Since they lack souls, they live but one life, and death is always permanent for them. In fact, when undines die, their bodies turn to water and collapse into a brief, rushing flood.
Changeable Nature: An undine can be as calm as a still pool or as tempestuous as a hurricane, liable to switch from one mood to another with little provocation and no warning. Undines can be warm and comforting, or cold and biting. They never cling to grudges, though, and consider the end of any altercation to be the end of the problem that caused it.
Common Names: Anana, Bein, Callouch, Eeffre, Frish, Louschen, Mascha, Nahsh, Oola, Sselesh, Thundra, Yorrsh.
