Cave Fisher

Beast Name: Cave Fisher

Approximate Size (l x w x h): 1.5' x 3' x 1.5'

Known Locations: Kageroth Mountains, Caves

Strengths & Weaknesses (if applicable): Cave Fishers are named for their favorite pastime. They are skilled fishers in cave streams and ponds, using the horn-like projection on the front of their head to spear fishes and shovel them into their wide, toothy mouths. They have extraordinarily quick reflexes, but tire easily. Cave Fishers can see only in near dark. Too much light will blind them, while absolute darkness will do the same. As such, when the are not in caves they are nocturnal.

Weapons & Defenses (if applicable): Their chitin armor looks more impressive than it truly is. While it is tough enough to endure substantial amounts of pressure, it is also brittle under sudden force. The Fisher's face and stinger/horn are its most tender and least protected areas. It can use its sting as a weapon. If injected with more than an ounce of venom temporary (thirty seconds to two minutes) paralyzation will occur. It is also very quick with its front legs which are each equipped with one talon. It cannot raise its body very far off the ground, so most of its attacks will be aimed around the shin area.

Observations (in biology or behavior):

We was lost in a massive cave in them Kageroth Mountains, best if ya don' ask why we were up there. We was just 'bout starving and decided to try our lucks with fishing in some o' them cave ponds. It was dark as the Dickens in there, so that made it a even damn harder than it already woulda been. We set about it with some nets and rocks, but we hadn' so much as seen a fish when one o' them Cave Fishers came up behind my buddy and stung him in the back o' the knee, there. Well, he froze right up and I ran like hell. I didn' even know the guy that well... not 'nough to die for 'im, surely. I looked over me shoulder as I ran and saw them Fishers draggin ol' Tom down inta the water to drown 'im. Poor bugger. -Junior Calhoun
