Karramarro

The Karramarro, or the Men of Shells, are the reason for the ease of cooperation between the  Itsa Isenaren  and the land dwellers. They are massive, intelligent crustaceans, reaching twice a man’s height and ten times his strength. They reproduce in hundreds at a time; for two Karramarro can easily sire a thousand offspring in their lifetime. Their actual name for themselves is unknown, as is their language- Karramarro is the Merpeople’s name for them.

They have never been seen alive by land dwellers, but corpses have washed up ashore. During the great War under the Waves, the Merpeople defended their lands against invading Karramarro with the economic and material aid of  Alvyrnia . The reason for Alvyrnia’s interest was simple; the Karramarro are amphibious, and survive as easily on the shores as they do in the depths of the black ocean. What the  Boundless Blight  is to the land, the Karramarro are to the sea.
