Haunter Fish

"The terror is not the fish itself, but the memories." - Sailor notes in Erestia

There are some creatures in the ocean depths that should not be. The Haunter Fish certainly belongs on this list. Created through some of the influence of Thar and the abyssal plane, these monstrous creatures lie in the lower reaches of the ocean depths and use their extra-sensory magical energies to terrify creatures and beings...to death. Feasting on the corpses of those slain thereof, or even through its powerful bites following.
