Liaun'ii

The Liaun'ii people are from Liau'na Anu'u in the world of Kanahulu that were nomadic fish folk until they arrived in the center of Kanahulu and established a dominion alongside with the remaining Anu'ii (Liaun'ii word for Alirai) from millennia's prior.

Summary
Liaun'ii have thick scales most noticeably in their legs and torso. They also have patterns on their scales and fins that are different to each Liaun'ii. There are different subgroups of Liaun'ii in Kanahulu consisting of, Saltbound Liaun'ii, Manuahi Liaun'ii and Swamp Liaun'ii

Pa'akai
Pa'akai Liaun'ii live in salt water seas and only ever eat meat from sharks, crustaceans, orcas and larger fish. Their scales range from a turquoise to a dark teal. These Liaun'ii cannot breathe air and usually stay close to the ocean floor. Pa'akai are very territorial and may try to destroy your boat from the deep depths after sunset.

Wai'hou
Wai'hou Liaun'ii live mostly in fresh water seas and eat sea plants, crustaceans, coral, and smaller fish. Their scales range from a vibrant light blue to a monotone dark blue. These Liaun'ii can breathe air and live on land but only around moist environments such as jungles, rainforests and tundras. You may encounter some traveling in the waves all across Kanahulu or in Liau'na Anu'u.

Kai'lepo
Kai'lepo Liaun'ii live in swampy waters and kelp forests and eat algae, kelp, seagrass and smaller fish. Their scales range from aquamarine to a pastel green. These Liaun'ii can breathe air and can only live in marshy environments due to their feet not being able to withstand the hardness of drier land. You may encounter some in the swamp lands of Saturiwa and deep in kelp forests around the Kanahulu.
