Axolotl

A Gift From The Gods

Not that long ago, the axolotls were created by Faust, The Goddess of Creativity, as a symbol of friendship. One of her best friends at the time was The God of Luck. They spend a lot of time together, though Faust knew that she couldn't be with him at all times. She knew that most of the time he felt lonely and isolated from his brothers and sisters. And so, she decided to create the axolotls to keep him company; small aquatic creatures that loved the humid weather conditions on the island where the God usually remained. However, more creatures would become aware of their existence and soon enough the axolotl became known as a delicacy among the Tabaxi and Aarakocras. They we're hunted for their exquisite taste and vulnerability.

Mutation

When the Sahuagin arrived on the western side of Arkhana, they quickly found themselves to be running out of supplies. One of those supplies being food. That is when they came across the axolotls. Immediately after they decided to capture and breed the axolotls to keep the food supply up and running.
About a decade after that, the population of the Sahuagin was decreasing at a rapid pace due to their war with the local triton race; because of this, the breeders ended up with too many axolotls. Most breeders decided to kill them off, though others decided that they could possiby get better results from experimentation. And so, eventually, the axolotls became a mutated race. They grew limbs and their intelligence increased greatly. The newly created race was enslaved and used by the Sahuagin to do easy tasks for them so that the Sahuagin themselves could serve in the war.

The Axolotl Tribe

Some of the axolotls managed to escape the Sahuagin, and created their own safe haven. A tribe of axolotls where they could live in peace and work on their newfound intelligence and wisdom. Sadly, they had to leave their less evolved brethren behind. Thus they made it their goal to free them from their bonds. These bonds being the captivity they are being kept in by the Sahuagin, but they also aim to improve their intelligence as well. So that they may evolve in the same way as they did.
