Alliskain
In the dark, a spark; sight where you can't see, in the water underground deep.
These are a species of amphibious fish with legs, no I'm not insane.
These creatures don't have many things after first hatching, not even eyesight, but slowly gain these as they grow.
They are known throughout the area the live as a menace to travelers, as Alliskain are extremely aggressive, which causes chaos along with the fact that they are amphibious.
But with the many killings of humans the Alliskain cause. Alliskain are hunted quite a bit, evening out the balance, but because of the infestive nature they inhibit they reproduce quickly, and can hide from humans quite well due to their intelligence, and so they are still growing in population.
They are hunted for things such as the light their heads hold, as well as their scales for armor. It's a constant war beholden the hunting of both creatures of each other.

Social Structure
They have a whole nest with many structures among it. The first being that the Baarisk plan flow of the water to favour them most when an intruder arrives. The Haarisk often plan priorities. When do we need more food? How long should we hunt before we need more workers for the nest? Things like that. The Gaarisk's sole job is to be a bodyguard for the Haarisk of the nest, being 3x the size of a human often hells these beasts quite a bit.
