The Deep Ones have a yearly festival of sorts.

Most of the Deep Ones, if not all of them, are professional treasure hunters.

The 'festival' is more like an offering ritual, where the other Deep Ones travel throughout the realm to look for treasures to offer to the king/emperor.

Despite their.....interesting name: they are quite the force to be reckoned with.

They are the only ones who have the ability to control electricity underwater, paralyzing their enemy and prey alike.

********************************

Sireins:-

Actors of the deep sea and singers of the wide ocean.

The Sireins are masters of disguise and are capable of changing their voice to mimic anyone or anything they think of.

Also are able to control the water pressure around them in a certain but wide radius.

There melodic singing can mesmerize almost anyone and can soothe any beast. Or their voices can destroy the very being of one.

Ironically: their name was given to them by a mortal sailor/fisherman, who was looking for the original sirens, but found them instead. After a while the mortal actually fell in love with one, mesmerized by his beautiful voice, making sure his route took him through the said Sirein's lair at the time, and always going alone.

Eventually the sailor and Sirein 'tied the knot' as they say, and sired children.

Last the people heard of either, was that the mortal was given a slight portion of immortality so that they would live together forever. And they both were living on a seaside house in Ireland or Scotland.

Appearance:-

They look like either sea dragons or as wolves. With some actually have fish lower bodies instead of legs.

They have large ear fins, that can be used to intercept long distance sounds.

And large back fins, two for the wolf shaped, and three for the dragons, with a middle one being larger.

Large and long thin but malleable scales coming from their backs from just below the shoulders, that can emit colorful light effects when they come in contact with light.

Clothes:-

They prefer wearing silk thin clothing. With shirts that have holes in the back for their 'wing' scales.

Accessories include: rings, necklaces, fin braces for the 'mers' and piercings for their head and ear fins.

Traditions:-

Sireins tend to visit the oceans of other realms, singing for the amusement of sailors who go through their temporary habitats.

And unlike the original sirens, who use their mesmerizing voice to prank sailors and lead them to their death, the Sireins use their singing to lead the lost sailors into safety.

That was actually how the certain sailor and Sirein met each other.

Deep Shells:-

Treasure guardians and keepers of ancient knowledge.

*******************************

Oxadines:- (spelled oxa-deens)

Pretty much the only Deep Ones who can breathe both on land and underwater without the use of special equipment. Which is why most tend to live on the islands above.

Though they don't have an affiliation with any kind of magic, their name came to them from both being able to breathe on land and the ability to control the oxygen around them, but at a certain radius that can increase with training and experience.

With the rare ability to control pressure around them.

Appearance:-

Oxadines look more like the normal everyday large fish, like: sharks, dolphins, whales or orcas, with their skin color having different patterns and colors from the originals.

But the difference are the tribal markings that are literally carved on their bodies upon reaching puberty, which vary in shape and design.

Also all have a few sharp blade shaped bones sticking out off their arms, heels and below the shoulder blades, but those blades can be softened to allow proper movement.

Clothes:-

Oxadines like the Deep Shells wear only bottoms.

Accessories include necklaces, bracelets and ankle bracers made off pearls and deep sea stones.

Traditions:-

The Oxadines join the traditional royal treasure hunt, as guides or obstacles that give the challengers some rare treasure if they overcame the test. These challenges are called Ordeals.

During mating season, they tend to keep for themselves, preferring the lone wolf kind of life style, but when they do find someone they shower them with gifts, love and praise, going as far as going on long expeditions to the seas of other realms to get any kind of gift or souvenir for their mates or children if there are any.

Lurkers:-

Like the Voidwalker Creepers, the Lurkers are the lowest ranking specie of the Deep Ones. And just like the Creepers they have no affiliation to any kind of magic or any special abilities.
