Description

These savage fish hunt in schools and will devour anything edible in the water with them. Although only one-half-meter long, their bite is quite dangerous since over a third of their length is taken up with teeth and mouth. Herkels secrete a viscous contact poison which mats their scales, making them dangerous to touch (0p2). When aroused by large quantities of blood in the water, there is a 30 percent (1D20: 1-6) chance that a school will go into a "feeding frenzy" during which they will bite anything (including each other) floating near their jaws and will not have to check morale.
