In appearance, Lenje are a good deal shorter and stockier than Crudag, with nictating membranes and (if unaltered) have thin, flexible membranes that connect their toes and fingers together for aid in swimming. While obviously semi-aquatic, they cannot breathe water like Slees, although they have superior oxygen storage abilities and have collapsible lungs in the manner of marine mammals, allowing them to prolong and deepen their dives. The structure of their inner ear allows them to detect and differentiate sounds and vibrations in deep water. There is little divergence in facial structure or skin color among Lenjic populations, and they are almost universally olive colored. Their intelligence is roughly on par with Crudag, although they tend to enjoy a reputation for being shrewd and inventive thinkers.

Historically, Lenje have been concentrated along sea coasts and deep rivers, particularly on island continent of Arqualan and larger isles in the Sea of Holinos, including Melbria and Isleesia. Their success has driven them across the world, however, so that they can be found from plain to mountain and sea to jungle. While pureblooded Lenje are still a sizable minority on Arqualan itself, they are less well represented throughout the rest of the empire. As a result of this, and decreased reliance on diving in their daily lives, most Lenje families have taken to surgically removing their children’s webbing shortly after birth (particularly the fingers, but occasionally the toes as well). Crudag-Lenjic hybrids compose an enormous part of the Empire’s population.
