Females leave their homes to hunt for food and explore the unknown areas of the sea and on land. This has led some to believe that there are no male mumuirs. While on land, mumuirs’ tails will morph into legs, but they keep the scales that cover their bodies from their temples to their hands and feet. Upon close inspection, they have gills on the base of their necks.
Mumuirs are stronger than most humans and aren’t afraid to show it. They have retractable barbs that extend from their wrist with a paralytic venom they use to subdue their prey or predators. Their capacity to use hydromancy has helped them to become the rulers of the sea.
