They usually are scantily clad, a loincloth at best, and only when visiting human land settlements do they bother with it, as in more �advanced� ports, they have a tendency to offend humans with total nudity despite the fact that their genitalia are concealed until the time of mating, at sea nudity is the norm. The only clothing they enjoy wearing are the elaborate belt or tool pouches they make to carry their belongings. Usually shark or ray skin they are usually covered with elaborate embroidery, fringe, bead work and bits of metal and other things. They can be belt pouches, satchels that hang from the should or a back pack any form of pack or pouch really, but belt pouch is preferred.
Vetri are the quick witted, ever joking sea folk with a passion for rice balls, and a love of shiny things. Sailors curse them, children love them and housewives loathe them. Ever ready with a quip and foolish in their pursuit of pranks, Vetri are possibly the silliest race to grace the sea, they steal like ravens, anything that catches their eye with a sparkle and a gleam, and quick fingers then poof it�s gone. Their underwater homes are full of trinkets, both of their make and others.
The largest sorrow to the Vetri is that evil humans prize their skin, it�s water proof nature, beautiful color and the fact that it does not rot as quickly as shark or ray skin makes it quite a prize to some.
