The Ceti are a race of dolphin type mamanos. They dwell in aquatic settings that range from the open ocean to freshwater rivers, and everything in between. Blessed with dolphin tails and a 'blow hole' the Ceti roam in pods. Their sleek, powerful tails allow for them to propel through the waters and breach the surface, surprising everyone around them. In this manner the Ceti lightheartedly toy with humans sailing past.

Despite their complete lack of traveling ability on land the Ceti are quite welcomed among the costal living humans. They are amazing fishers and trade for miscellaneous goods as shiny objects and things considered precious, which is usually some garbage that can only be found on land. Tourists are delighted with these friendly mamanos as well since the Ceti are never below popping up and telling the most isolated spots for the curious couple... yeah, they're totally gonna watch. Local swimmers would be familiar with them as well since the pods nearby will swim with them. Sailors also have had their lives saved by Cetis meddling.

Courting with a Ceti is a slippery slope, even without the blubber. They are the type to surprise the man that's caught their eye with a spray of water or a freshly caught fish to the face. The culprit is obvious when their target starts looking around and she just can't help but duck back under the waves. Such a first impression can only be bad but their bubbling feelings rise with the tides. The newfound attraction pounds in a Ceti's chest and pushes her plans to get wilder and extremer just so she can catch the attention of her man. Despite the fishy plans, if someone were to try and court these mischevious girls they would fall quickly to the wooing of the truly romantic. It's a mermaid trend for a reason, and as such the Ceti do not escape it fully. When the Ceti's feelings are recipricated they go crazy with delight, doing circles in the water and eventually dragging in their man to the waters to spend their first night as lovers together.

Quite like other tribes of mamanos the Ceti have hierarchies but these ones, however, are decided a bit more violently. Typically most disputes in the Ceti pods are talked through but during mating season the pods are more on edge and they are more aggressive. Unmated Ceti will prove dominace via intercourse with other Ceti, and it is only spurred on if there are males nearby. By proving their sexual prowess the newly proven dominant Ceti will have the first pick of men. The newlyweds have the choice of leaving the pod or remaining. Those that remain are still subjected to the unorthodox dominant display and it is typical of Cetis to fight over someone else's husband, with his wife's permission of course (they're always down). From there it is a mass orgy of the Ceti and any males seduced by the psuedo dolphins.

I might add an image later, it depends on how well the drawings come out. Since this is my first fan-made monster go crazy with the critisism. Don't hold anything back!
