Ocean Tomanths

The second most common of the tomanths are the ocean-born; they are, essentially, a sub-race of the river-tomanths that has learned to adapt to salt water.  They appear somewhat akin to bipedal alligators, with longer and heavier limbs, shorter snouts, and independently swiveling eye turrets (and nictating membranes that protect their eyes).  Their teeth are more akin to sharks', with multiple rows of rapidly-replacing teeth -- many of which can break off in a wound and paralyze or kill it.  Their coloration ranges from dark blue to dark yellow and even gray.  They average four feet in height, and are usually six-and-a-half to seven feet long.  They tend to have stubby fingers with long claws.  Of all the tomanths, ocean tomanths are the largest and the heaviest.

Ocean tomanths tend to be found in the Gulf of Teras.  Tomanths are an indigenous species on Gaeleth.
