Skale

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

Skales are humanoid fish creatures who walk semi-upright. There are two general shapes for skales. The more fish-shaped skale (like the Bog Skale in the adjacent picture), and the more reptilian shaped skales (namely found in Elona) like Skale Lashers and Ridgeback Skales. They are likely amphibious, since they are only found in areas close to water, like rivers, lakes or swamps. Also, they have webs between their claws and drop fins.
