===River Spearfish===

A recent branch off from the Common Oceanic Spearfish, River Spearfish carnivorous fish that are adapted to survival in the watercourses of Fortune, inhabiting the Swamps region of Alpha Continent. The River Spearfish is about 5ft long upon reaching adulthood, though individuals of up to 6 feet are spotted from time to time.

River Spearfish are heavily adapted to freshwater, only rarely entering oceanic waters. They are smaller than their cousins, and travel in smaller packs. They share the hunting tactics of their ancestors, 'winding-up' the muscles in their tail, putting all their energy into a tremendous burst of speed, and leaping out of the water. From there, the creatures can achieve limited flight, or glide for extended periods of time. They are slightly more mobile on land than the Common Spearfish, possessing claws which are generally used to cling to and climb trees, though they also make traversing some terrains easier, though they are still bound to return to the water eventually, due to the limited capacity of their primitive lungs.

Spearfish evolved in order to hunt Rainbow Blimpies, however, this species is not present in the swamp, so its anyone's guess as to how the creatures will evolve now, with different prey available.

River Spearfish lay thousands of soft slimy-coated eggs in smaller waterways, attempting to hide them with rocks and river-flora. The young hatch into small thumb-sized fry that must fend for themselves from the moment of birth. On average, only around 6% reach adulthood.
