'Species: Shark

Habitat: Swamps, lakes, rivers

Disposition: Lonely, clingy, devoted

Diet: Fish, meat'

Alright, the Helioscorpio is finally here, to end this off. Oh wait, Orthacanth, an actual Shark species. That's more like it.

'One of the oldest Shark-girl species ever recorded: Orthacanth’s evolved in isolation: trapped in freshwater swamps.'

Oh, what a horrible faith, they surely cannibalized themselves to survive... Probably not.

' Leading all Orthacanth’s to visually bear little resemblance to what most people would imagine a typical Shark-girl to appear as. For starters: their bodies oddly resemble that of a Frilled than anything else: being streamlined and serpentine.'

So...coil-sex? I can live with that kind of shit. Maybe I could learn to enjoy it...maybe.

' They don’t even have dorsal fins at the usual spot:'

Heresy~! Jesus Christ, that reminds me of Avv.

' instead, there is a long spine jutting out from the backs of their necks, serving as a mechanism for defence. So instead of being at the normal spot: their dorsal fins actually run down further in their back, almost resembling a section of fin on an eel.'

...Maybe a mace? No, that wouldn't be practical.'=

' While these features don’t exactly make them the best chaser types, it Does help them ambush hapless prey, with them usually killing prey by impaling them with their spike.'

Good shit. Brings back good ol' memories.

'Orthacanth’s are the only Shark-girl species that lives exclusively in freshwater, and being in areas with any amount of salt in them are actually damaging to the the Orthacanth’s health,'

That's good to know, really good to know.

' so they avoid contact with even mixed waters such as estuaries, fearful of their lives. As another added issue: considering that most aquatic manamo reside in the Oceans, Orthacanth’s rarely find any company under the water, barring other members of their species, Sahuagins, and the occasional Taursrk, so they’re usually quite lonely, with usually no other fish species to converse with. To make up for this though: they try to have as much contact as they can with land-dwellers, and almost seem to idolize them, often sparking odd friendships.'

...That really gives me some interesting ideas, ahem.

P1-Orthacanth

P2-Random Land-dweller P2:"Man, this boat trip on a totally safe sweet water lake sure is fun"

Cut to P2 being dragged underwater by P1

P1:"Golly gee, would you look at that, a land-dweller! Oh, Can we be friends, like right now?!"

Cut to P2 now running out of air.

P1:"Wow, you guys can turn blue? I never knew that! Or...oh, OMGIMSOSORRYYOUMUSTBERUNNINGOUTOFAIRLEMMEHELPYO-"

Cut to P1 kissing P2 deeply while breathing sweet, sweet oxygen into his lungs. Or something along those lines.

'Due to this odd admiration of land-living people that they have, many Orthacanth’s bear a secret desire to go on land with them, and be with them all the time.'

That only sounds slightly obsessive.

' This desire though is usually quite impossible for them: as their has a mediocre skill with magic and it’s often far too difficult for them to get a Mage or even a blacksmith who’d construct them something that they can ride on, especially with their odd body shape, so usually they’re stuck in the water That’s not to say that they don’t try though: every other thought that goes through their mind is of their desire to be on land and a slight envy towards those that can. These feelings are extremely evident with close friends, where they often stare longingly after them, wishing they could go with them. '

There's always the water tank option, not that practical, but still an option. Again, maybe dragging a gigantic water tank behind you might not be so easy...

'Occasionally, when they come across human men, they feel a strange urge: almost like a sort of calling.'

>a sort of calling.

>sort of calling.

>Calling.

>call

That's the mating call, my friends, when you hear it, you either run from it or towards it.

' Then, they’ll try to call him over, and act like a woman in distress; claiming that they want to move to a different patch of water but can’t because of the currents(Or because they’re trapped if they happen to live in something like a pond or lake.) If the man complies, she’ll always ask to be carried princess-style: so she can touch and observe more things as they go along(While making sure that her spine does no damage to him).'

If the spine doesn't do damage to him, the fatigue will. I mean, they can't be that light, can they?

>Cut to a former Order soldier carrying one of them around, sweating heavily under his arm, due to the weight he had to carry for more than 20 miles now. However, it's still worth it, if only for a sight of her smiling face gave him strength to continue onwards.

' As they walk the Orthacanth will immediately start to grow fond of him, often glancing down at his legs and occasionally: the thing between them.Eventually, once they get to the destination the Orthacanth specified, she will have grown fond of him, and will try to coerce him into taking a dip in the water. Should he accept and enter(After placing her there.), the Orthacanth will simply wait, and: once there is a good enough opportunity: take her ambushing tactics to heart and rush him, both out of desperation for a permanent companion, and so that she can give him the most pleasurable experience of his life.'

So, don't go skinning dipping with a shark-girl that's clearly got her eye on you. You don't have to tell me twice man. I'll just go and find another random pond to skinny dip into for whatever reason.

'When mating the Orthacanth is always on top of her mate, not because of any real disposition though: but because they literally have to because of their spine;'

You don't say. Well, better come up with a creative way to change that...hardcore bondage should do the trick, now... where are my ropes?

' can’t get it broken now can they?'

No shit.

' So they simply ride on him and nuzzle him when they’re stopping, and will not stop until they see that their mate is completely satisfied, and they will do so with an almost zealous devotion.'

>Their mate is completely satisfied Blacking out it is.

'After this the Orthacanth’s first order of business with her husband will be to get a permanent solution to her land-wanting problem, and for such a long wanted obsession, she will surprisingly be very agreeable about it so long as her husband manages to get something adequate: even a wheelchair would be perfect for her needs.'

http://i.imgur.com/ujna7uu.png This seems kinda fitting.

' Unfortunately though: the Orthacanth, even out of water, will only be able to live in areas that are moist enough to support them, making places like bayous and lakeside beaches perfect for one to live.'

Not bad, not bad at all.

'A married Orthacanth will constantly want to be around others, especially any friends they happen to have, but most of all: they almost convulsively need to be near their husband at nearly all times, as to them(In the moment) he’s the only thing in the world that matters to them.'

Seems like duct tape could help 'em out a bunch.

' Once they’re alone though, and every one of her friends have left, she will completely open with her desire to make love with him. Do be cautious though: apparently Orthacanth’s were cannibals before they weren't monsterized, obviously this has stopped since they have become manamo, but the habit still translated over in that if two unmarried Orthacanth’s cross paths, they will sulk off to pleasure each other, wallowing in their shared want to be terrestrials, and both then will resolve to look for a husband together. This can also happen when a married one spots a drifter and takes pity on her, so she will invite the newcomer in, and a small harem will be born.'

Cookie shark kind of deal, oh boy, this can get bad fast.

'Over the years there have been several attempts to adapt Orthacanth’s to sea-water, but these attempts usually backfire. And certainly: while there is a possibility that magic can be used to alter their physiology, Most other Shark-girls would see them as an invader(From instinct, considering they’re so different) and immediately try to drive her out. In retaliation; should any salt-dwelling Sharks come near them via magic, the Orthacanth will try to keep them away from her husband, viewing the intruders as a potential threat and thief.'

So, don't try to integrate them in other habitats. Sounds easy enough.

At any rate LoS, this last one was quite good, 9/10. And with that, we end off the sharks, have a good one in the future dude.
