Around 5 feet long

Fish and Geckafish

Intelligence:

Semi-sapient

Gulphins are large, dolphin-like Geckas that live in the Aqua Alta. They have a sophisticated intelligence that leads Salsene explorers to ponder over their sapience.

Appearance

Gulphins resemble a cross between a dolphin and a lizard, and have large wings on their sides that aide them in swimming.

Diet

Gulphins eat all manner of small animals in their marine home, and have even been observed leaping twelve feet out of the water in order to catch a Geckagull.

Behaviour

Gulphins live in pods, with a sophisticated leadership structure that is still not understood.

Sapience?

Gulphins have shown several signs of sapience, or perhaps beginning sapience. First off, they have a complex language structure which appears to be capable of expressing things such as the speakers current emotional state. And if the speaker does not sound happy, the gulphins will actually come over and try to comfort him or her. They also have been observed teaching their young how to find small clam-like animals in the sand, and letting them try, correcting them when wrong.

The Salsenes have made it illegal to hunt these creatures, as their true sapience remains unknown.
