A dragonfish is a small, 2-foot long, flat fish
that makes its home on the bottom of shallow lakes,
rivers, or streams. They are non-aggressive and
spend their days eating miniscule water creatures,
insects, and aquatic plants. The dragonfish’s scales
are brown, mottled with black.
Combat
Dragonfish are not aggressive and prefer
to lie on the bottom of a body of water, waiting
for a victim to accidentally step on it so that its
poisonous spines penetrate the victim’s flesh. If
forced into melee, a dragonfish cannot use its
spines and attacks with its bite.
Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 11, initial
and secondary damage 1d2 Con. The save DC is
Constitution-based.

Spines (Ex): A dragonfish’s back is covered
with long, sharp spines. Stepping on a motionless
dragonfish causes its spines to penetrate and break
off in the victim’s flesh. Such a victim is subject to
attack from 1d4 spines, each of which deals damage
and injects poison into the wound. Removing a
spine deals 1d2 points of nonlethal damage.
Camouflage (Ex): A dragonfish can lay flat
on the bottom of a shallow body of water, making
it very hard to notice. Such a motionless dragonfish
has a +10 circumstance bonus on Hide checks.
Skills: A dragonfish has a +8 racial bonus on
any Swim check to perform some special action or
avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on
a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It
can use the run action while swimming, provided
it swims in a straight line.
