Section: Fish – Saltwater

These long saltwater fish can grow to lengths of over 5 feet, and can be aggressive. They are found near coral reefs and areas with submarine grasses, often lurking in the upper part of the water where they can watch for prey. Barracudas can put on bursts of speed, effectively “charging” underwater up to 80 feet as part of their attack (+2 to hit, but -2 to AC until their next action). In most cases, a barracuda will only bite once, realize that its target is not potential prey, and then depart, but some submarine civilizations may have learned to train these predatory fish as guard animals. Giant barracuda are 1d5+10 feet long, and consider humanoids in the water to be prey animals.
