Selkies are functionally identical to humans, except they receive a seal skin upon character creation. If this skin is lost or destroyed, the DM decides what the further fate is. It is advised to provide some sort of replacement, or a story quest to retrieve it if lost or stolen. Seal Time When near your seal skin, (within 100 ft.) you may transform into a seal or back as an action. Seal Form Selkies use the Seal stat block, but keep their intelligence, constitution, and HP. If the skin is lost or destroyed while you are in seal form, you immediately transform back.

Description:
Selkies are people who can turn into seals. They are likely the oldest species on earth, and have lived for centuries. They can change between human and seal form, but only if they're within 100 feet of it. They are the only species that has previously revealed themselves to humans, and they used to be integral parts of human society.
