Pholae

Pholae are the most common denizens of Gotera, found on all sandy beaches of the realm’s shores and along the shallow shelfs before they drop into the twilit zone. While they are great in number, their presence is seldom felt unless they are severely threatened. Pholae prefer to spend their day eating, lounging, crafting, and competing for a mate. Innate artisans, they make their living in the seas selling finely crafted wares; typically nets and tools, but sometimes well-made weapons and armor. They spend their earnings on simple pleasures, eschewing material possession in favor of food, drink, and attracting as many desirable mates as possible.
Physical Description: Pholae look like an upright-walking crab with six to eight appendages instead of ten. Most Pholae have four legs that are used for walking. Though, there are some that only have two lower legs that give them a more humanoid appearance. The first two legs are not really "legs" per se, but rather claws — technically they are called chelipeds. Most Pholae have two medium-sized pincers, while some males develope one small pincher and one large. These claws are used for attacking, and lack dexterity for fine manipulation. The middle legs (or arms...it’s all relative) of both genders end small, dexterous pinchers that are used for more delicate manipulation. Typical coloration is brownish red, but blue, black, green, and even yellow Pholae are not unknown.
