My interest in Ratuki has been renewed by the latest issue of TORM which contains details of their galleys and submersible sharkboats.(and an excellent illustration of the former).

The only details I've seen published on 'sharkmen' was in an ancient Gateway Bestiary.

The Sharkmen in this publication have enhanced strength, can communicate via Mindspeech with sharks, can transform into human sized sharks, swim well in human form anyway, and have a lethal bite.
(possibly in human form)

It also says that they usually wear capes to cover the sharks mouth in the middle of their backs.

Has anyone developed any ideas more recently?

In particular what are they like prior to transformation?

Do they have sharks teeth, toughened skin, resistance to normal weapons etc?

Have we dropped the idea of the sharks mouth on the back?

The TORM illustration suggest they use sharks teeth clubs and daggers.

I guess they can also summon sharks.

(and sacrifice prisoners to them?)
