Poisonous River Fish
creatureAlso known as: Flatfish, Giant flathead fish, fish with huge teeth, mutant fish, balloon with teeth, Toxic River Fish, fish in the rivers, mucus-secreting fish
A fish found in local rivers that secretes a damaging mucus. Klbkch identifies Erin's wound as caused by contact with this fish's mucus (a poison-like affliction) rather than a simple infection.
Profile
A flat, squat fish, far wider than normal, with a massive mouth taking up about a third of its body and multiple long, sharp teeth. Notably has two eyes on each side (one large and one smaller).
Ambushes Erin in the stream; stranded on land, it dies. Erin attempts to butcher it in the inn’s kitchen, which leads to her severe hand injury.
The aggressive fish in the stream serve as a useful tool for Erin. She observes one die after eating her vomit, confirming she was poisoned. Later, she uses them to test her hypothesis about the blue fruits, confirming which ones are poisonous by feeding them pieces and watching their reactions.
