This is probably not the most balanced thing ever, but if anyone wants a drow-analog for underwater campaigns I think it's pretty cool.

Description: Deepwater merfolk, also known as anglermaids, are a race of carnivorous merfolk that dwell in the lightless depths of the sea. They tend to have blank, pearly white eyes, light green or blue hair and skin in fish-belly white shades with black or midnight blue scales. Small lights and/or lures cover their bodies, shining enticingly enough to offset their long, sharp nails and shark-like teeth.
