There is a problem with parsing the infobox Atlanteans are an aquatic species that were once the inhabitants of the mythical island of Atlantis, until the "Great Flood" which collapsed their civilization and lead them to developing the ability to breathe underwater and longevity.
History[]
Thousands of years ago, Atlanteans were once human beings who lived on a particularly fertile island-continent, a fabled utopia called "Atlantis". The royal family who were descendants of the god Poseidon possessed various divine powers.
The Great Flood[]
The Atlanteans lived in great prosperity, until inevitably the King of Atlantis became too ambitious and hungry for power. This lead to the Atlanteans going into constant war with each other, which caused a massive flood to sink the island of Atlantis. Many Atlanteans died from the Great Flood while others survived.
The Birth of the Aquatic Atlanteans[]
The Atlanteans who survived were able to adapt to their new environment. And so the Atlanteans evolved from being human beings to becoming an aquatic species. Though due to Atlantis being underwater, the Atlanteans were forced to leave their city and rebuild their civilization somewhere else in the ocean.
Culture[]
As humans, Atlanteans were warriors who only fought if necessary.
As an aquatic species, Atlanteans are the inhabitants of the ocean who kill and hunt for food in order to survive, much like merpeople.
