Pike (fish)

Pikes were a species of resilient carnivorous freshwater fish, prized gamefish, and mundane housing of giant pikes.

Description
Pikes' mouths were filled with dangerous and sharp teeth, a threat to their prey and anglers.

Varieties

 * Northern pike: a subspecies of pike found in the far northern Sea of Moving Ice and unlike its freshwater cousins, northern pikes lived in cold brackish waters.

Behavior
Pikes were known for their aggression and powerful acrobatics when reeled by fishermen in.

Ecology
Pikes, along with other species of gamefish inhabited Doff's Lake of the Veilstone Peaks, Cormyr. The lake teemed with life and provided the surrounding villages with abundant fish.

The waters of Akanamere bore seasonally-rich populations of fish. The fisherfolk of the city of Zutria had to compete with pikes for the catch. Thankfully, they often were helped by friendly nixies who chased the sharp-teethed predators away from the catch in exchange for dried beef and squeeze bulbs of wine.
