Pacu

"That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen."
-Maximus Dovat

Widely considered to be very unsettling, the Pacu is a fish with human-like teeth and underdeveloped legs that feeds on land. The fish has recently become a popular dish in Vorthali settlements.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Pacu are large river fish, typically reaching just over three feet in length and weighing up to 90 pounds. They are often blue or green along the top and belly with red sides. Pacu have large square mouths with human-esk teeth which are oversized and make it impossible for the fish to close its mouth completely. They have underdeveloped legs which they use to walk on land and also appear to be able to breath air. This is dangerous for a Pacu however since they don't have arms, if they fall on their side they struggle to stand back up.

Dietary Needs and Habits

"...and the dumbest."
-Maximus Dovat

Pacu are herbivores, eating berries, nuts, and seeds that fall on the ground or in the water. They are not typically dangerous, however they have been known to mistake fingers and other body parts for food.
