An Advanced Creature Profile by Vincent Groth.     

The Deshk stand five feet and eight inches tall. They are formed from smaller coastal sharks, can reproduce, and can’t exist outside the Horde. They are covered in highly abrasive grey skin, maws with too many teeth to speak coherently, gills, webbed clawed fingers, and pointed ears that curve back unto itself.  

The Deshk are an aquatic species that can breathe under saltwater and function outside of it for short period of times. They’re strong with thick abrasive skin like sandpaper. Deshk are highly agile and fast in water able to build up speed and leap onto ships. 

The Deshk are an amphibious species used by the Horde as an aquatic, coastal, and ship raiding force. 

The Deshk do not have proper lungs but can super oxygenate their blood allowing them to function outside of the water for short periods. They can’t breathe outside of salt water and are much less dexterous on land.
