The Ratuki

Hi:

      ¿There is something new about the hsunchen-shark, the ratuki?. I only have this information by Sandy Petersen, extracted fron a finish webpage:

THE RATUKI
Shark-hsunchen who have no permanent island of their own. They cruise throughout the Isles, pillaging and looting. However, since the end of the Doldrums (the Closing's manifestation here) they have been occupying islands, installing governors, and gradually building a slave empire of their own. The Ratuki are accompanied by ordinary human pirates, who are like their "pilot-fish", scouts, and scavengers. These scum are more often encountered than the terrifying Ratuki themselves.

The Ratuki home is a Leviathan, a colossal sea-monster on which their town is built. This monster is accompanied by a mass of sharks that constantly badger it, snapping at its flanks to steer it, and chewing into its belly blubber to keep it at the surface (lest the town be submerged). Thus, the Ratuki Isle is followed by a huge slick of blood and fat floating atop the water. Hardly anyone has seen this horror.

¿Is something new about them?

Thanks
