Deep scion

Deep scions are humanoids who surrendered their bodies and souls to an aquatic power in exchange for their lives, and became amphibious shapeshifters in the service of the higher power.

Appearance
Deep scions are amphibious creatures with dark tendrils that pull off of its headwith and toothy fangs covered by two flaps of skin. Their skin has a bluer or bluish-green tint to it, their hands are elongated, and eyes are yellowish-green in color and sunken.

Abilities
The deep scions can use its action to polymorph into a humanoid-piscine hybrid form, or back into its original form. Its statistics, other than its speed, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. The deep scion reverts to its original form if it dies.

In their hybrid form, deep scions are able to make an audible a psychic screech within 300 feet that recharges after a short or long rest. Creatures within 30 feet of the deep scion must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC 13) or be stunned until the end of the deep scion's next turn. In water, the psychic screech also telepathically transmits the deep scion's memories of the last 24 hours to its master, regardless of distance, so long as it and its master are in the same body of water.
