This hunchbacked, green-skinned humanoid has a wide, frog-like head but a mouth more akin to that of a toothy fish.

The Ulat-kini are the greatest of the races created by the aboleth. Immortal and legion in numbers during the height of the aboleth empires, the ulat-kini formed the backbone of army and culture alike. Without the empires to support them, the ulat-kini, now known as skum by other civilized races, have been left to survive on their own.

The majority of surviving skum dwell in the deep sea or underground ruins of their former glory. Skum do not age and can live forever outside of violence or disease. Unfortunately, this blessing is twisted by their inability to breed amongst themselves. All skum are male, and though they cannot breed with their own kind, they originate from a range of stock and an attempt to reproduce with other humanoid, piscinoid, and in some cases, non-humanoid, races. Children of these unions are nearly always deformed, though some of these deformities may be subtle. Those that are not born as skum go through a transformation sometime between puberty and adulthood, shedding their normal skin and becoming full-fledged skum.
