Spikupochuvgat or Spiky Giant Dziop (Spicomarirana incognitus) is the fictional species of giant Dziop or oceanic salamanders, that introduced in Bagani: Island Hopping.
Etymology
Spikuppochuvgat is the combination of words from Northern Sami for “spiked water frog”.
Physical Appearance
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.
Abilities
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. Spikuppochuvgat can breathe mixed hydrogen peroxide, pollution, marine snow, and paralysis to make it their next meal.
