== История публикаций ==
 
Сахуагины — изобретение Стива Марша (Steve Marsh), игрока, который придумал много водяных монстров ещё до того, как стал работать в [[TSR, Inc.]] (Gygax 1977, p. 4.). По словам Марша, источником идеи стал один из эпизодов комикса «{{ruw|Лига Справедливости}}».
 
 
 
Впервые сахуагины вошли в дополнение «[[Blackmoor]]» Дэйва Арнесона (1975 год) для [[OD&D]]. Там они были известны как «дьявольские люди из глубин» («Devil Men of the Deep») и представляли постоянную угрозу людям, живущим на побережье.
 
 
 
В первом издании «[[Monster Manual (AD&D)|Monster Manual]]» (1977 год) сахуагины описываются как «морские дьяволы» («seadevils»), существа, живущие в тёплой солёной воде, чрезвычайно хищные и убивающие для развлечения. В 1982 году сахуагины появились в наборе «Monster Cards».
 
 
 
Сахуагины играют важную роль в кампании из трёх модулей Дона Тёрнбулла серии U: U1 «[[The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh]]» (1982 год), U2 «[[Danger at Dunwater]]» (1982 год) и U3 «[[The Final Enemy]]» (1983 год).
 
 
 
Редакция [[BD&D]] также описывает сахуагинов как «родичей акул» (shark-kin) в книге AC9 «[[Creature Catalogue]]» (1986 год). Затем они были перепечатаны в DMR2 «Creature Catalog» (1993 год) и появились как игровой класс в PC3 «[[The Sea People]]» (в книге 1990 года «The Sea People’s Book»).
 
 
 
В [[AD&D 2]] сахуагины появились в «[[Monstrous Compendium Volume One]]» (1989 год) и затем вошли в «[[Monstrous Manual]]» (1993 год). Их подробное описание содержится в книге Скипа Уильямса «[[The Sea Devils]]» (1997 год) и дополняющих её статье «Sneaky Sea Devils» («[[Dragon]]» № 239, 1997 год) и модулях серии «[[Monstrous Arcana]]». В статье Джеймса Ваятта «Heroes of the Sea» в № 250 «Dragon» (августа 1998 года) сахуагины рассматриваются как игровая раса.
 
 
 
Сахуагины вошли в «[[Monster Manual]]» для третьей и 3.5-й редакций D&D (соответственно 2000 и 2003 годы).
 
 
 
В четвёртой редакции D&D сахуагины также включены в «[[Monster Manual (D&D 4)|Monster Manual]]» (2008 год).
 
 
 
== Description ==
 
Sahuagin are usually green skinned, darker on the back and lighter on the belly. Many have dark stripes, bands, or spots, but these tend to fade with age. An adult male Sahuagin stands roughly 6 feet (1.83 m) tall and weighs about 200 pounds (91&nbsp;kg). Sahuagin are highly fish-like, with webbed feet and hands, gills, and a finned tail. There is additional webbing down the back, at the elbows and, notably, also where human ears would be. One in 216 specimens are a mutation with four usable arms instead of two. These four-armed mutations are usually black, fading to gray in color.
 
 
 
The appearance of the Sahuagin has changed somewhat since its inception in 1975. Originally the Sahuagin frame was more like that of the aquatic elf not possessing a tail and having a similar skeletal structure to humans. This early interpretation of the Sahuagin is apparent in sources like the first edition ''Monster Manual'' (page 84), various images throughout the AD&D Module U3: ''The Final Enemy'', [http://jrients.tripod.com/otus/otusmcards_files/image011.jpg «Monster Cards»] illustrated by [http://jrients.tripod.com/otus/otus.html Erol Otus] and in the sculptures of early lead miniatures from several companies. With the advent of AD&D second edition and such products as ''The Sea Devils'', the Sahuagin changed its appearance greatly. Newer artwork now depicts the sea devils with long finned tails and a skeletal structure more fish-like (long slender webbed fingers and toes, and a large dorsal fin) and much less humanoid. The exact origins and reasons for this inconsistency is unclear but it may have its origins in the Sahuagin’s swimming speed and artist’s concerns with producing a viable creature to fit the swimming speed of its RPG game stats.
 
 
 
== Society ==
 
Sahuagin society closely resembles some aspects of [[Aztec]] society. It is claimed that the Aztecs were part of the inspiration for these creatures.[http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=142329&142329]
 
 
 
Sahuagin are the natural enemies of [[Elf (Dungeons & Dragons)|aquatic elves]]. The two cannot coexist peacefully: wars between them are prolonged, bloody affairs that sometimes interfere with shipping and maritime trade. Sahuagin have an only slightly less vehement hatred for [[Triton (Dungeons & Dragons)|tritons]]. Precisely why the two races hate each other so much is unknown, but what is known that the presence of an aquatic elf community within several miles of a sahuagin community occasionally causes some sahuagin to be born as [[malenti]]; mutants who resemble aquatic elves.
 
 
 
They also hate the [[Kuo-toa]], another fish-like race, though the two races have been known to ally.
 
 
 
Multiple births are frequent among them. Sahuagin deal very harshly with offspring who are not robust or aggressive enough—they are eliminated by compulsory fighting to the death between young sahuagin. Sahuagin seem fixated on all aspects of consumption, and are eager to weed out anything they see as weak or unworthy to compete for resources. Savage fighters, sahuagin ask for and give no quarter. When swimming, a sahuagin is able to tear with its sharp feet, using them as weapons. About half of any group of sahuagin are also armed with nets. Since there are many illustrations of sahuagin wielding spears, these would seem to also be favored weapons.
 
 
 
=== Religion ===
 
Sahuagin worship [[Sekolah]], the [[Alignment (Dungeons & Dragons)#Lawful Evil|lawful evil]] god of sharks, as their patron deity and the father of their race. They also perceive him as the ultimate adjudicator and incarnation of punishment, officiating over an endless struggle between mythic figures. These figures are the hunter «He Who Eats» and the hated «It That Is Eaten», with the struggle between them reflected in every aspect of life. Because of this, sharks are seen as holy creatures to them, and dolphins are hated for their friendship with aquatic elves. The Sahuagin make regular, living sacrifices to Sekolah by feeding the sacrificed being to the sharks that follow every sahuagin priest. In the first edition of the ''Monster Manual'' mention of being «devil worshipers» is likewise made on page 84. This also suggests there may be fiendish cults that venerate other diabolical gods not yet known.
 
 
 
== Sahuagin in Greyhawk ==
 
In the ''[[World of Greyhawk]]'' [[campaign setting]], sahuagin are known to inhabit the ''Azure Sea'', and once threatened the [[Keoland|Keoish]] coastal town of ''Saltmarsh'' in the 570’s [[Common Year (Greyhawk)|CY]]. The sahuagin laid siege to a lair of [[lizardfolk]] and drove them out of their home. The sahuagin converted this lair into a base of operations from which to launch an attack on Saltmarsh. The buildup of sahuagin forces caused an alliance to be formed between the citizens of Saltmarsh, an aquatic elf tribe (the Manan), a tribe of [[Merfolk (Dungeons & Dragons)|mermen]], a tribe of [[locathah]], and the original lizardfolk who were driven from their home.
