"I think their predominant color was a greyish-green, though they had white bellies. They were mostly shiny and slippery, but the ridges of their backs were scaly. Their forms vaguely suggested the anthropoid, while their heads were the heads of fish, with prodigious bulging eyes that never closed. At the sides of their necks were palpitating gills, and their long paws were webbed. They hopped irregularly, sometimes on two legs and sometimes on four. I was somehow glad that they had no more than four limbs. Their croaking, baying voices, clearly used for articulate speech, held all the dark shades of expression which their staring faces lacked ... They were the blasphemous fish-frogs of the nameless design - living and horrible." -The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H.P. Lovecraft

Whether they are truly the progeny of the Abyssal Lord Dagon or the result of some perverse mixing between costal-dwelling cultists and ocean-dwelling sea races such as the Kuo-toa, is uncertain.
