Found within an underwater lake in Blackrock, angler fish are best known for the ghostly lanterns hanging from their arcing, bony spines. The feature casts the terrible visage of these enormous fishes in a spectral green light. Their jagged teeth, each one easily the length of a Seastrider's bowsprit, protrude from their fell, yawning maws at all angles; a sailor's body could disappear into such a horrid, rancorous pit without a trace. Spiny ridges cover the the body of the angler fish, which is armoured with a mail of blanched umber scales, oily and dark. Their beady, squinting black eyes, far too small for a beast of such size, gleam with remorseless, predatory hunger. These enormous fishes power forward relentlessly with an array of veiny, fan-shaped fins, their lurching gait doing nothing to abate the angler's focused, pitiless glare.
