They wear black kilts with a leather belt around their waists, black boots with orange tips, and a cape of shaggy orange fur around their necks. The [[Aquatic family|seafaring]] warriors perform corkscrew attacks with their claws that rip into groups of enemies and they can infuse their slashes with lightning, as well.
