The SendingStone review

Sahuagin are considered to be one of the most iconic and challenging monsters found in the Dungeons and Dragons universe. They are typically depicted as fierce, shark-like humanoids who are completely dedicated to serving their deity, Sekolah. Because of their high strength and mastery of underwater combat, they are feared by sailors and coastal dwellers alike.

Despite their vicious nature, some players have found ways to use Sahuagin as allies or even playable characters in their campaigns. Some find the challenge of fighting against these formidable opponents to be thrilling, while others appreciate the potential for complex interactions with a complex and morally ambiguous race.

Overall, Sahuagin are a fascinating addition to any DM's toolkit, offering a unique challenge for players and opportunities for creative storytelling.
