Often considered kin to the mer-folk, the icthid people are a race of their own. Possessing large, fish-like heads and slender limbs, their colours range from dull grey to vibrant orange. Social standing is associated with psychic power and the size of the spiny dorsal crest that runs from the top of their heads down their spines. A hierarchical society, the ichthids have strong concepts of duty and religion, trusting their priesthood completely. As a species, they disdain physical contact of any kind, and frequently capture other races, even land-dwellers, to use as mind-controlled slaves. Instinct: To serve the priesthood
