Clad in sealskin and sailcloth, the feral selkie is a half-krolvin in his middle years.  Her hair is unkempt and her eyes are wild and unfocused.  Rattling bones, dried iceblossoms, and bits of kelp adorn her ritualistic attire, held in place by bits of fraying twine.  Unwashed and obviously addled, the selkie looks as if she has one foot firmly in a world that you cannot see.

Or: 

The selkie's large, dark eyes hold more than a glimmer of unnatural intellect.  His fur is soft and sleek over an agile musculature more suited to the water than dry land.  The selkie's sharp teeth are yellowed and an overwhelming odor of fish guts rises from his mouth in a noxious cloud.

Appraisal: 

The feral selkie is medium in size, about six feet high in his current state.

Hunting Strategies

Selkies have a humanoid form and a seal form.

In humanoid form, they act as wizards, casting Hand of Tonis (505)(both bolt and SMR versions), Major Cold (907) and Earthen Fury (917). They also Sweep.

They may transform into seal form: 

A look of intense concentration knits a gaunt feral selkie's features.  Autumnal colors flash beneath his skin as his hands sprout webbing, inflating into slick flippers.  His features contort and shift as his musculature rearranges.  At the same time, his skin becomes sleekly furred and spotted.  He falls to the ground in his newfound seal form and raises his whiskered snout skyward!

In seal form, they act as a melee attacker, using Charge (attack), Bite (attack), Headbutt and Bull Rush.

They can also shift back to humanoid form: 

Tremors pass through a gaunt feral selkie's body, followed by flashes of autumnal color that glow beneath his skin.  His hair sprouts longer and thins in places, becoming bristly and revealing blue-grey flesh.  His sharp teeth soften and become decidedly humanoid.  As he rises from the ground to stand bipedally, the last vestiges of his seal form recede, leaving him decidedly humanoid in shape and stature.

They wear several Minor Mental spells, including Brace, which will cause weapon droppage when a selkie parries or their arms are struck.

Other Information

They do a lot of galumphing in seal form.
