Knucklehead Trout

The knucklehead trout is a fish unique to Icewind Dale's three lakes: Lac Dinneshere , Maer Dualdon, and Redwaters. Most notably, as their names suggested, they have heads the size of a fist, as well as spiny bones in the rest of the body. The bone is likened to ivory in coloration and general appearance. The knucklehead itself is seen as silvery or reddish and silver in hue.

Scrimshaw art carved from the head bones of the knucklehead is a primary product of the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale. In fact, discovery of knucklehead bone and the art of scrimshaw led to the foundation of the Ten Towns, as it brought traders to the region. The trade made living in the cold northern land financially viable. Fishermen bringing back a good catch of knucklehead for food and scrimshaw is a highlight of daily life in the dale and skilled scrimshanders are well-respected and influential.
