Skwizzens

Skwizzens are a small fish found in the open oceans of Armstrong. They are swimmers that will intake food that is floating in the water and digest and pass it through their bodies for energy. They are large animals, typically massing around 1500 kilograms and are found in fairly large groups of 4 to 24.
Island dwellers who hunt Skwizzens prize the teeth for their hardess and sharpness, blubber for cooking and mechanical grease, and skin for making huts and tents. City dwellers find the meat palatable and it is considered a delicacy on some other worlds in the Cluster and is therefore traded. Sometimes live specimens can be found in Armstrong's Landing waiting to be transported so that they are killed and butchered fresh for consumption. 
Skwizzens can be fierce fighters and are capable of fair damage. However, they are susceptible to a particular neurotoxin that renders their muscles placid for a period of about an hour. During this time is when hunters will load them onto boats or tow them to carriers that can transport them live to the destination. The neurotoxin, Tarsulmenin, is not allowed to be imported to Armstrong and is not manufactured in the system. 
Swizzens are not intelligent enough to be even pets, they are simple, roaming, huge fish that are noted for the uses as described above. Off of Armstrong, they are not highly prized except as a status among those who are able to boast that they have had or are able to serve the fish.
