Barracuda

Barracudas were a type of carnivorous fish that inhabited warm salt water.

Behavior
Barracudas typically did not attack humanoid creatures. However, they occasionally would attack humanoids carrying shiny objects, out of a mistaken belief that said object was a small fish they could prey upon. They could be very aggressive and vicious.

Combat
Barracudas were lightning-quick predators, attacking any prey that was injured or appeared helpless. Occasionally they would use their speed to launch themselves out of the water and bite at creatures on a boat.

Habitats
Outside of the Prime Material plane, barracudas could be found in the domain of Draga Salt-Biter in the Domains of Dread.

Relationships
And some sea mages were known to keep them as familiars.
