The Vosk Daggerfish is a species of bony freshwater fish native to the Vosk Basin. They are nocturnal ambush predators, typically feeding off of large catfish, waterfowl, and other creatures living in the rivers. Vosk Daggerfish are large and scaly fish with the biggest specimens growing up to 3 meters and 159kg.
Vosk Daggerfish have experienced a significant decline in recent years due to water pollution, especially in the lower reaches of the River Vosk. The species is considered to be threatened, although smaller but stable populations still exist within the Elruth Occupation Zone.
The species is named after their long sharp, elongated anal fins which is said to resemble a dagger. They swim using undulations of this fin which allows them to rapidly ambush prey and then dart back into the muddy river bottom. They have powerful jaws lined with sharp teeth. Their coloration is ranges from light brown to dark green.
Despite their ferocious appearance Vosk Daggerfish do not pose a true danger to humans or other sapient races. The species is edible, though care must be made not to eat their eggs as they are toxic to humans. Vosk Daggerfish are often valued by anglers for their size and strength.
