Spines. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage and the target must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 4 (1d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the poison damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way.

Hit: 6 (1d8+2) piercing damage and the target must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 4 (1d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the poison damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way.

This two-meter-long mutated fish looks like a cross between a barracuda and a bird of prey, with long fins that act as wings. This fish is found only in large bodies of water. Fleshin are carnivorous and not above attacking humanoids while hunting. As if that weren’t bad enough, fleshin are coated in poisonous spines that makes them unpalatable to most creatures.
