A large species of gastropods that created the Hajoka entente. One of humanities neighbors and historically their best friends, being the only species they've never had any form of hostile involvement with. Similar to the humans, the Sluiag have an intense knowledge in genetics, with certain members of the species even being brought onto human klonologic science teams to aid them in the understanding of other species' biology and genetics. It is one of the rare species which have evolved with the natural ability to manipulate the Pryacelsius, using it to the point of that being their primary form of communication amongst each other and sometimes even other creatures.
Physically, Selachians possess the sleek, streamlined bodies of sharks, adorned with smooth, iridescent scales that shimmer with hues of blue, silver, and violet. Their muscular frames are built for speed and agility, allowing them to effortlessly navigate the ocean currents with unparalleled grace. Their heads are a striking blend of human and shark features; sharp, predatory jaws filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, piercing eyes that glint with intelligence, and elongated snouts reminiscent of their shark ancestors.


While humans have formed a close bond with the Sluiag, most other species tend to keep their distance as they have gained a negative reputation which originates through their first partnership. Sluiags weren't the species to achieve FTL technology and be brought into the League, it was another species, the Sluiags were one of the species apart of the original's entente, found on one of the many planets under it's control, however when this species went to war against them, the Sluiags made sure they'd never do so again, launching a successful genocide against the species. This has held long standing repercussions within the league, associations, nearby associations, and nearby ententes, as most see them as two-faced and treacherous, as a lot of their inner wars involve a lot of sabotage. Although most come off with a more happy and cheerful demeanor, especially towards strangers, they are often thought of as the mad scientists of the League, having taken advantage of their relationship with the humans to work up the ranks of the League as they did.
Despite their fearsome appearance, Selachians are a deeply sophisticated and cultured species. Within their underwater cities, constructed from coral, shells, and other marine materials, they have developed a rich society governed by intricate social structures and traditions. Their cities are adorned with intricate sculptures, vibrant murals depicting their history and mythology, and bustling marketplaces where exotic treasures from the depths are traded.


== Biology & Race ==
Selachians are highly skilled hunters, utilizing their keen senses and natural agility to stalk prey through the labyrinthine coral reefs and dark abysses of the ocean depths. Yet, they are not mere predators; they possess a profound respect for the delicate balance of the ocean ecosystem and often act as guardians of the seas, maintaining harmony and order within their underwater realms.
The biology of Sluiag are rather diverse compared to most of the other species in the galaxy, holding a skin color that can vary from green to hazel to brown to amber to grey; and the secreted mucus holding hints of green, hazel, blue, amber, or white, with these colors being determined by the environment the Sluiag was born in.  


Made up of mostly water, Sluiag must generate protective mucus which keeps them from desiccation, a condition that particularly effects '''Douple''', which are Sluiag without their shells. By not carrying this shell, they are capable of moving at far faster speeds, some even capable of matching human sprint speeds, however this tends to only be when the ground is moist, such as just after rain. Incapable of venturing into arid climates, all Sluiag contain a pneumostome; a breathing pore, or respiratory opening, which typically resides on the left-side of a Sluiag's mantel. When they contain a shell, they are called Coquie, which while this slows their speeds down, they are capable of keeping the shells moist and hold their slime within them, although these require regular cleaning, they also make up the homes for the Sluiag, with them only requiring to curl inside to sleep. Excrement is often left inside the shell until cleaned, or in the case of Douple, they will simply leave it in their path as they travel.
Despite their affinity for the ocean depths, Selachians are not isolated from the affairs of the surface world. They possess a complex system of communication, using a combination of telepathy, sonar-like pulses, and intricate body language to interact with other underwater beings and occasionally communicate with surface-dwellers who venture into their domain.


While rare, it is known for Sluiag to be born with a pair of arms on either side of their mantels, these are known as '''Limbre'''.
Selachian society is governed by a council of elders, wise individuals who have earned the respect of their peers through acts of bravery, wisdom, and leadership. These elders are responsible for making important decisions regarding the welfare of their people and maintaining diplomatic relations with other underwater civilizations.


Being a hermaphrodite species, Sluiags hold both female and male reproductive organs. Once finding a mate, they will wrap around each other and sperm is excreted along their mucus, which they rub against each other. Just a month later, both Sluiag lay eight legs each beneath Leitha.
However, Selachian society is not without its conflicts and challenges. Rivalries between different clans and factions occasionally erupt into skirmishes, and external threats such as invasive species or pollution from the surface world pose constant challenges to their way of life. Yet, through their resilience, ingenuity, and unwavering sense of community, the Selachians continue to thrive in the mysterious depths of the ocean, a testament to the enduring spirit of these fascinating humanoid sharks.
