Shoalskipper - Ashes of Creation

Shoalskippers aren't native to salt water, but they have adapted over the centuries to tolerate ocean shallows just as readily as brackish swamps or mangrove forests. Since they first migrated to the islands, the Niküa have evolved alongside these gentle creatures, utilizing their great strength to tow barges or rafts. They even mount and ride the largest specimens, which can travel great distances without tiring.

Their most mysterious behavior is only known from rare reports of the Shoalskipper’s song. Experienced mariners have long claimed that on rare occasions when the moon is high and the seas are calm, the Shaolskippers will raise their heads above the water and bray a low, mournful song that can echo across the waves for leagues.
