Chondrichite

Chondrichites are an aquatic species from the planet Wezen III, and the founding species of the Wezen Tide. Following the Fallen Crisis, the Wezen Tide joined the Outland Confederation as a member state.

Physical
In their land form, Chondrichites resemble bipedal sharks. At an average height of just under 6 feet, Chondrichites feature a mohawk-like dorsal fin on their head, a larger dorsal fin on their back, as well as smaller fins on their forearms. Their four-fingered hands are webbed and clawed, and their legs are digitigrade. In addition, they have gills on the side of their necks, as well as a shark-like tail. Chondrichites are capable of fusing their legs into their tail, which in turn grows in size to give them a "mermaid"-like appearance, and allows them to swim faster in both water and the etherium. Their respiratory system allows them to both breathe on land and underwater indefinitely.

In addition, a subspecies of Chondrichite known as the Terrachon exist in much smaller numbers. Having adapted much more to living on land, Terrachon are distinguished by long, pointed ears and hair.
