Razor-fins

The ocean is deep and glorious. There's a reason sailors call it their mistress. Some of the things in the deep are beautiful; some of them are monstrous.

This is one of the latter. There's a massive shark that's been seen in the deep waters, its flesh a mottled black and grey and blue, covered in sharp, razor-like shards of scale, or bone, or flesh. Nobody is really sure, but everyone knows it is not natural. Some of the sailor's call it Ocean Flint, others cal it the Razor-Fin Shark.

Its bite causes incredible damage, and no matter what it bites or how many teeth it leaves in the target, it always has more teeth for the next bite. Its bite is so dangerous that it will cause even more wounds to burst from your flesh.

Despite being an absolute, terrible monster, the Ocean's Flint is actually not too hard to make friends with. Talk with it, perhaps survive an attack, and promise this monster a chance for more blood. It's particularly suited to befriending magi with piratical tendencies. Binding the Razor-shark requires a Perdo Animal or Aquam lab total of 51 due to its size.

Once bound as a familiar, the change from cunning to intelligence makes it a good guard for your lab, if aquatic, as long as it can go hunting once a day after lab work.
