Fearless stalwarts, merfolk hoplites live to protect their people. Wielding tridents and massive shields, a wall of hoplites is all but impenetrable underwater, and even on land, where merfolk are at a natural disadvantage, merfolk hoplites are fearsomely capable combatants, though creatures more suited to combat on land are more mobile by far. |
