Sea darlings are a tiny, unique, humanoid race that scours valleys of water and ocean bodies across the world. Their slight size has kept their existence secret throughout many human generations, but the knowing individual knows what sort of curious creatures the Darlings truly are. For the most part they keep to themselves and others of their kind, hiding amongst the sea animals they mimicry but not without reasoning. The main predator of the Sea Darlings are magical water beasts who's only purpose seems to hunt down and consume the magick of any and all sea darlings that they can find.
Darlings can be anywhere from the size of a thumb to the size of four palms. Their eyes are large and often wide, the whites of the eyes only showing when strained or fearful, and their hands are quite diminutive really.
The role of a Darling can be anything, from dolphin darlings redirecting lost sea mammals to their pods, or lobster darlings who help caught cetaceans escape. Their pursuits may also be less noble as some are often found playing harmless tricks on humans and making life a little bit more of an obstacle course to run through.
