Spikupochuvgat

Spikuppochuvgat is the combination of words from Northern Sami for “spiked water frog”.

The Spiky Giant Dziop is a larger Dziop than a normal one, with developing spikes on its back like spiny newts, purple to brown smooth skin, a white underbelly with yellow vertical lines, translucent fins, six red barbs, sets of six pairs of teeth, a bioluminescent esca or angler, and gills.

The Spikuppochuvgat possesses large pairs of spikes on its back, causing bleeding and impaling. Its lure can violently emit blinding flashes of light to disorient prey, making for an easy meal. This mouth can strongly gulp through its digestion. The Spikuppochuvgat can breathe mixed hydrogen peroxide, pollution, marine snow, and paralysis to make it their next meal.

The Spikuppochuvgat was neutral and passive towards all and never disturbing until using its barbs. These barbs set traps to instantly kill baiters. This animal was neutral if it was outside the trapping operation and very territorial if it was hidden on a mud floor.

The Spikuppochuvgat was located in deep underwater caverns, murky deep rainforest rivers, and open ocean worldwide in Sawintir, but also in Guam and the Mariana Islands. It was reported that this animal was found in Brazil, Japan, and Aotearoa, according to the duchess.
