    Because calling them fish people is quicker and easier than typing amphibians.

    I just think of them as mermen.

    NO! Then my choice of name doesn't make any sense!

    Now people won't think that Go Go Nigiri is delightful pun. They'll just think that it's a malappropriation.

    Curse you XIII...

    CURSE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

    Every time I see you post, it's in protest to something someone said. Stop arguing with everything.

    They're not fish people. End of discussion. Quit being so stubborn!

    They are fish people, still makes them amphibians. Fish in water, person on land. BOOM!

    They aren't fish in water, they posses no greater ability to be in water than the average human.

    Fish people = 10 characters (eleven including the space)

    Amphibian= 10 characters

    Just saying. Don't have a horse in this race.

    The first thing I thought of within the first ten seconds of playing were the thrusters. It can be frustrating being a science major; I find myself nitpicking more and more things :VLuckily physics was also not my thing. Something really bugs me about standing right above a very stagnant, transparent-liquid looking mantle, though.

    And a +1 for Salaman :p

    Don't be a dick.

    EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not flaming. I just don't think we should be rude to the OP just for having an opinion that differs from our own :p

    Amphibious doesn't necessarily mean "amphibian". There are amphibious fish, vehicles, etc. All it means is that they are capable of surviving both above and below water.

    So, yeah. Fish people.

    They aren't capable of surviving below water for any longer than humans >.<

    Right, guys?
    R... right?...

    Just on the armor that would allow them to, but their innate racial abilities are not better than humans in the water.

    Good info. Thanks for the link. This goes a long way to explain the little issues I had with them being solely axolotl-based (metamorphose/non-functional gills). Now that I know there's some tree-frog in there I like the design choices even more!

    As a member of the HADL, it should be known that "fish people" is a slur that has been used for years on our proud race. We allow it to persist however due to the fact that we recognize the lesser races that are stuck with only two eyes need something to feel superior. That's fine. Spit in our eye. We still have two more.

    What cant we just be people? Is it really that important to refer to us as lower life forms? We don't call Florans Weed people, or Humans Monkey/Ape people, no offence Apex readers, nor do we call Glitch Toasters. We are Hylotl. and that is all.
