Sharkmen are plundering your sea-side retreat

Call the local merfolk mafia and start the purge.

>settle a new area
>didn't already purge the furfag presence in the region
Asking for it desu

You know, sometimes I think that it'd be nice if humanity evolved without that meteor having to wipe out so much diverse and interesting life.

On the other hand, there is shit like this. That and giant dragon flies that would probably try and eat you alive. So that meteor probably did us a favour.

Sooo, did he cheat on his wife?

I could forgive the first 3...but firing the rum.
THIS TIME...IT'S WAR!!!

>not calling the asians, Jamaicans, and the Samoans
Come on, budbud. This is the rum we're talking about.

If I wanted to play a shark person, how would they survive places like the desert?

Endless decanters of water help

ARE THESE THE WAYS OF MY ANCESTORS?

If I wanted to play a being that's 60% water, how would they survive in deserts?

story? I wasn't around for that

Time to get these fuckers out of my lawn.

sharkman crafting how

You may have taken our harlots, but we will get your Sharktits

>You only have one rum distillery

I mean c'mon. You're on (what I assume is) an island nation. Chances are you're producing enough sugar cane for at least 2-3 distilleries per person.

Also, rum being incredibly flammable, they're probably the ones in trouble if they set it on fire.

Why does the mermaid have a butt? not an anus, but an actual buttocks?

Weren't the dragonflies only possible because the atmosphere had a lot more oxygen in it back then? Something about fungi which could rot down wood properly hadn't evolved yet?

Because, some people find fish butt sexy.

When the god of the sea transformed a bunch of humans he liked into fish-people so they could hang out with him, he only made the minimum necessary changes to their bone and muscle structure to get the tails working.

Why do you think they're kidnapping mermaids?

We literally wouldn't be here if that meteor didn't dislodge the reptiles from a bunch of niches that allowed mammals to swoop in and take over.
It was definitely an oxygen rich environment. That and since insects were the first animals on land they could afford to be big before amphibians came along.

To eat then as food.

Probably because she has hips.

>rum

Whores I can understand, no matter how many arms they have. But why the rum? Why would they do such a thing? That's like a world-class war crime!

They're protecting us from them. Mermaids lure sailors into the ocean to drown them, so the sharkman is actually helping us.

Well i guess i got the plot for my next section. Thanks user.

Think of the rum! Won't anyone thing of the rum?

The weeb is strong in this one.

Is ok, always more harlots.
Always more sarfish.
MEANS WAR.

Where do you think we are?

With these hands, they're part of the sharkman. Over it's left shoulder is just some unrelated buttfish it caught for dinner.

Is this recent? I can't find anything about this.

>they've set fire to your rum distillery

I'm going to make soup out of your fucking fins, you bastards.

The meteor wasn't even the worst (Best) mass extinction
The best one was the great dying, which took place ~256 MYA and killed somewhere around 90% of ALL life on the planet. The best part is we have more or less no clue how it happened.

They took the whores AND torched the booze!?!?!

The ocean will run red for weeks after I'm through.

>Sailors do the same all the time
>They were probably intended for consumption as I don't really see any other prizes a starfish could win
>RACE WAR NOW

This will not stand!

Ah yes, the buttfish; the sailor's favourite catch.

The first planet wide extinction killed all life on the planet turning it from a carbon based atmosphere to a oxygen one. To be fair there was only one life form on the planet and it stretched across the entire world.

It was an ocean fungus.

Those things are STILL fucking around

>It was definitely an oxygen rich environment. That and since insects were the first animals on land they could afford to be big before amphibians came along.

I had a pastor that believed this was also how dinosaurs became a thing, since the oxygen-rich environment would let lizards grow much larger as well.

The actual reason is because the common ancestors of dinosaus was part of the 10% of animals that lived through the great dying, and the globe was warmer then so it was easier for reptiles to get big
Also: Birds are reptiles

Doesn't that one have a penis?

At least one. Most shark-men in CoC have 2.

15" if memory serves.

...

>At least one. Most shark-men in CoC have 2.

When you were a kid, did you want to be a firefighter or a doctor or an astronaut? I bet you had amazing dreams. I bet you wanted to save the world. And look where you are now.

How strange.

Says the guy using cropped porn as a reaction pic.

The sharkmen have little remora-people to assist them in things they can't do.

I'll have you know I once came close to submitting a character for CoC, but I never got past the first 2 sex scenes because it's really difficult to write a scene that works for a 3-foot, genderless goo-goblin-drider-hybrid, and a 7'8" winged demon-minotaur-hermaphrodite with 6 beachball-sized, mouth-nippled breasts, and a whole bouquet of penises of every conceivable length, with, and variety. Plus every possibility between those extremes.

It take some doing, I can tell you.

I had weird dreams, what can I say?

Well, I salute you for trying. The nice thing about erotica is that you can get very vague and suggestive as long as the word have the right brain-feel.

>My Harlots?
>My Starfish?!
>My MOONSHINE?!?!?!

Oh, HELL NO. I think it's time I introduced these chucklefucks to blast fishing. JACK! WHERE'D YOU PUT THE FERTILIZER?! I HAVE SOME NEIGHBORS TO DEAL WITH!

Get the otterfolk to clear them out and pay them with a year of free booze

>>They've set fire to your rum distillery
Oh, so THAT'S why the rum is gone!

Oxygen thing is false, volcanic activity was much higher

We enslave them to work our NEW distillery and take THEIR harlots.

Invite the analogue !China to send settlers. Soon the shark fin trade will destroy the shark population.

...

...

What do they stand to gain from doing all of this? Have I wronged them in some way I'm not aware of?

Cesium.

I always wanted to be the Orkin Man. Aim low, miss low.

>Sharkmen are plundering your sea-side retreat

fine

>They've taken your beach-harlots

a loss

>They've eaten you prize-winning starfish

I will miss it, but not that much.

>They've set fire to your rum distillery

KILL THEM ALL

Time to call in

THE SHARK FIGHTER.

Oh, that gear is clearly traded (or, plausibly, stolen), perhaps in exchange for the rock sluts and fringed anuses they're stealing. Actual shark folk-art (or sharkfolk art?) is much less elaborate, being primarily made using coral, worked into shapes using tooth-sawing and skin-sanding techniques that gives it a smooth, organic look.

Shark folk have tremendous upper body strength and their powerful electroreception and sense of smell, even outside of the water, mean they can track their enemies down and subdue them hand-to-hand, without having to rely on short range melee weapons. At longer range, of course, sharkfolk can make spears of wood with tooth spearheads

>Beyond the Western Deep
I see that you are a man of culture as well

There's rumours that the reason the forums were taken down and rebooted was because apparently Fen slept with a female member of the forums at one of the conventions he attended, then started to blackmail her for more sex and for her to keep the whole thing a secret from his wife. Eventually the girl dumped all the evidence in the forums before they were nuked, which is why the forums were reset and people lost their accounts and everything uploaded to the server.

>They've set fire to your rum distillery
Who taught them about fire ?

Deep sea vents my bro

Yes, who indeed would teach the aquatic beasts the secrets of fire? Certainly not I, Koth of the unyielding flame. I would never think of doing such and act even if they promised me mermaid pussy.

They can have it I live in a landlocked territory.

Slick muscular dolphin pussy

where do you guys learn about this shit?

the fuck is that picture about

School, books, scientific articles, the occasional TV special.

>get interested in biology, evolution and science stuff
>read books, magazines and wikipedia articles on those subjects
>watch national geographic sometimes
It's not that difficult if you're not retarded

pls. I've only recently gotten out of some distressing cult shit, I've had no way of knowing about any of this.

was just wondering if you had some links for the specific things linked, like David A and exploding whale sharks
You dick

Jeez, that sucks.

Never be afraid to google something if you don't know what it means.

Massive volcanic eruptions in what is now Siberia is the leading candidate. Although there's conflicting evidence whether the extincion was caused by a "nuclear winter" type scenario where massive amounts of volcanic ash blocked the sun and caused a sudden short-lived ice age, or due to greenhouse gasses released by the volcanism completely fucking up the climate.
In fact, practically every mass extincion seems to be tied to a large igneous province. Even the K/T one. The asteroid impact is what gave the killing blow, but dinosaurs had been getting fucked over by volcanism long before that. Which one was actually the cause of the extincion is up to debate, though (i.e. would they have survived just the volcanism without the asteroid impact, or would they have died off anyway and the asteroid just provided a faster and more dramatic end).

On a side note, if there's any place in the world that's bound to be cursed by something horrible, it's Norilsk area in Siberia. Site of a massive nickel orebody (with considerable amounts of platinium as accessory) created by the flood basalt eruption (in fact, the creation of the orebody is likely a direct product of event that lead to the end-Permian mass extincion), later used a prison camp by the Soviets where thousands of prisoners were worked to death in inhospitable conditions (it's one of the coldest places in Siberia, especially when you taken in the account the near constant wind from the arctic sea). These days the leading cause of death for people living there is suicide or alcoholism (although to be honest that's the case in most of Russia). The place is also extremely polluted due to very lax adherence to any environmental laws, so if you don't die from suicidal depression you probably get cancer or something.

Why does that mermaid have buttocks?

>Aim low, miss low.
?????

That's where the ovaries are, so it's a mating display. When the mermaid has a fat ass, it means she needs to get fertilized.

>tfw there just happens to be a Fantasy Marine Biologist in the thread

Thanks for answer, makes sense now!

>Aim low, miss low.

The British Army during the Napoleonic Wars noticed a tendancy for soldiers to overestimate how high they were aiming due to the nature of the human eye and the lack of sights on firearms of the time.

They discovered that when ordered to aim at the torso of the enemy, the vast majority of shots actually struck a foot or so above the 'enemy's' heads, accounting for the often unexplainable lack of lethality infantry companies demonstrated during battle.

So the taught doctrine during this period was for British infantrymen to compensate for this by aiming low, at the enemy's knees or groin, thus producing a larger number of lethal upper torso hits. Sergeants and officers would remind their men of this prior to ordering volleys.

This mean the British infantry were significantly more lethal even than troops with superior discipline and drill, such as Prussians, but who didn't train with live ammunition and notice this discrepancy.

t. Man who has read all the Sharpe books.

tl;dr is true statement with muskets

Fantasy Marine Biology is fun.

I think we're due for another Horrible Deep Sea Thread at some point again. Although that's about real marine biology, which is usually stranger than fantasy anyway.

Sharkmen are an under-used concept.

...

If you know legit Marine Biology, maybe you can help. Is "ovaries" the right term for ? The angle I'm going for is that they're swollen and engorged, partially to maintain proper temperature for fertilization and implantation, but mostly as a mating display.

As I type this, I feel like I'm describing an aquatic mammal, but I know there are some non-mammals that birth live young.
