 ==Description==
-Described as both Froglike and fishlike, slimy anthropoid creatures with spiny ridges down their back and bulging lidless eyes. Deep ones, despite their preferred marine environment, can survive on land for extended periods. Deep ones are capable of Hybridizing with Humans, resulting in a person with the "Innsmouth look", which will eventually metamorphose into a complete Deep One and return to the sea. Deep ones do not die natural deaths, but are effectively immortal, and will only die of accidents, war, or disease. Deep ones apparently are found all over the world, but few know the correct method to contact them. Deep ones can also hybridize with the [[Yugg]]s, sentient flatworms.

 "'...Obed learned that there are things on this Earth most folks never hear about - and wouldn't believe if they did hear. It seems the Kanaky natives were sacrificing their young men and maidens to some kind of god-things that lived under the sea, and getting all kinds of favour in return. They met the things on the little islet with the queer ruins, and it seems the awful carvings of frog-fish monsters were supposed to be pictures of these things - maybe they were the kind of creatures that got all the mermaid stories and such started....'" - H.P. Lovecraft, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth"
