Editing Drowned People (section)

== Physiology ==

=== <u>General Appearance</u> ===
Drowned Folk are half-sea creature, and no two look alike even if they are fused with the same kind of marine life.<ref name=":Sea (Pt. 1)">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/04/19/interlude-strategists-at-sea-pt-1/ Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1)]</ref> They can be divided into three categories: The typical fish and crustacean fusions; Magical fish and fusions that don't work as intended, like with jellyfish; And fusions that look biologically foreign, like with shellfish or sea snails.<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/09/05/9-56/ Chapter 9.56]</ref>

=== <u>Physical Qualities</u> ===

==== Fish Physiology ====
Depending on what aquatic creature one has fused with or were it has fused on the body, they can obtain said aquatic creature's natural abilities. For example someone fused with a Blackwater Jellyfish can obtain its paralysis sting, as well as the ability to heal from wounds that would cripple normal flesh, while someone having their arm fused with a Swordfish can obtain an unparalleled cutting weapon.<ref name=":Depthless Doctor">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/09/the-depthless-doctor/ The Depthless Doctor]</ref> 

==== Reproduction ====
Drowned Folk reproduce sexually, though they can arise asexually if the sea creature they are bonded with can reproduce in a similar manner (i.e. [[Doroumata]]). A person can become Drowned Folk by accepting the Sea’s Bargain,<ref name=":Sea (Pt. 1)" /> which bonds their bodies with a sea parasite. being born from Drowned parents (or at least a Drowned mother).<ref name=":Depthless Doctor" />

=== <u>Special Abilities</u> ===
