| - The Aquaticans are a sapient, amphibious race indigenous to the Sea of Rakash as well as the Crystal Sea on the planet Eternia. It is unknown if their ancestors had yet evolved before the evil Hordak transformed the Caverns of Rakash into its later iteration as a body of water. Their species are gilled, allowing them to likely breathe underwater indefinitely. They also have wet, scaly green or blue skin, with a set of fins framing their head that may be their species' equivalent to ears. They walk about with a plantigrade bipedal stance, and possess webbed hands and feet for better movement in water. Like many other primarily aquatic organisms, they have large, bulbous eyes and a wide mouth filled with needle-sharp teeth. Noses or something akin to nostrils have been seen in some individuals but not others; these may be used like sharks to detect blood in the water, though this is purely speculative. It may also be that all members possess these nostrils, but that they can seal up tight enough to appear invisible to the casual observer. Either way, the species also possess sets of gills on their necks. The face notably has a layer of rough, orange-hued scales which serve an unknown purpose, which surround the eyes and occasionally the upper lip.
