Selkies

A Selkie is a human-like being whom sheds their skin at will from Human to Seal. Selkies are sometimes mistaken for Mermaids by their name of "Merrows". Most Selkies live by the sea, though they often walk around in human streets, pretending to be Humans themselves. In the early ages, Seals were killed for their skins and some people believed that they were driving away unwelcome Selkies. Skin that was proved to belong to a Selkie would be worth about Eighty Crescents. A Selkie would grow stronger and more powerful when the tides are correct. Selkies are kinder than most others in The Mortal Races.
