Skale

Skales are a species of monsters in the bestiary of Guild Wars.

Skale are humanoid fish creatures who walk semi-upright. There are two general shapes for skale. The more fish-shaped skale (like the Bog Skale in the adjacent picture), and the more reptilian shaped skale (namely found in Elona) like Skale Lashers and Ridgeback Skales.
