'' Sea beasts of the known world and its freezing oceans.
1: Ornate beholders, multi-legged, multi-eyed abominations, these creatures get inside our crab pots everynow and then as part of a bycatch; they have crushing, muscular claws and sharp spikes all over their bodies. Their blood is blue, and they have a weird, metallic after taste. Preferably, frying this whole aberration in tallow can make such horrible beast taste so good.
2: Flying dragonets, small, smelly fish that use their fins as wings to glide across the vast seas they call home. They're prone to jumping onto vessels, and whilst they reek for no known reasons, they're cheap and tolerable enough as a meal.
3: Flashlight breachers, monsters from the depths... Nothing much is known about these monstrous fish, as they are rare, mostly found on trawls.
4: Common blumplets, aggressive fishes found in all sorts of places. They have a gelatinous bulb growing on their heads which is full of fat, we use them as fertilizer whilst their meat is used for fish pastes and other kinds of meals. Tasty, but could be better.
5: Oceanic blumplets, a more monstrous version of the Blumplet. These fish are seen in open ocean sometimes lopsided close to the water's surface, basking. They arent slow moving at all despite their clumsy looks, often giving a good chase... specially if you're a small fish.
6: Brute whale, terrifying and smart sea beasts that travel in pods hunting all sorts of things in the great blue. Their blubber and teeth can be used for things such as explosives and candles, their meat is inedible, tastes straight up like some kind of corrosive substance.
7: Rock crawmad, our most common source of food. A simple creature, that depends only on its shell and fierce claws. Other than that, a delicacy if prepared right.
8: Toothchurning tideriders, terrifying creatures that only think of eating and consuming. Once they deplete whatever they were eating, they move onto something else. Its better to let these sharks ferment overtime before consumption, since they taste like straight up urine.
9: Gazing anchovy, small, worthless fish. found almost everywhere theres ocean water in massive schools. Their prosperity also becomes their own hubris.
10: Humpback salmon, oceanic fish that return to spawn in the nearest rivers and lakebeds. Not as abundant as they were before...
11: Peeping fluke, spiky flatfishes that lie facing the sky, having a big eye and a smaller one right next to it... always looking up. One must wonder what's behind those eyes... constantly dreaming about the outer world outside.
12: Spine eel, long and slimy. Dragons detest these beasts, and so do we. ''
