Anything interesting about the race, apart from being good at swimming?

Umm, they're adorable???

+2 STR, +1 DEX, Natural Armor 12+DEX, Proficiency in Athletics and Perception, Advantage on saves vs charmed, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, stunned, or put to sleep, must be submerged every 4 hours or you suffocate (eeep!), 30 ft walk/swim.

Suffocating after 4 hours on land is pretty limiting for a character.

I get the feeling this is gonna be Grung-like in the "There are technically stats for this but we have not really bothered about anything outside of the one adventure" style because that's a bit of a big thing to deal with

Maybe, but without something unique, even if it's a drawback, what would be the point of playing this race? It's just a bunch of non-game-changing bonuses otherwise.

Yeah, the only way I could see one of these guys being integrated into a general adventuring party is if you made it an artificer and built an environment suit.

Is this AL legal like the Tortle Package?

 

[gyor]

So far 5e has Water Genasi, Tritons, Sea Elves, Locathah for official water breathing races, and Sea Half Elves, Lizardfolk, and Tortles as semi aquatic races. Very strong water theme in 5e.

 

[AriochQ]

No word yet on whether it is legal for AL.
