Carnackfish
The carnackfish, ьаłнаьѡƕпіѕь[1] (qarnaqwhpisq) /qaɹnaqwpi:sq/, is an unfortunately common and slow fish. It is carnivore in nature, and lure its prey by mimicking its prey's food source. When its prey is close enough it attacks, bites, and injects a poison into its prey. Its poison contains several hemotoxins and neurotoxins. The neurotoxins paralyzes the pray, while the hemotoxins dissolve the tissue.
In humans, the neurotoxins will immediately paralyze the limb that was bitten, while the hemotoxins will start dissolving the tissue. Over the years since the source people landed on Illte, only a couple of handful people has survived being bitten by a carnackfish without getting an injection of antidote within minutes after the bite. And of those few who has survived, only two[2] has escaped being crippled for life.
Since antidote has been easily available, and it has been required by law to have at least two injections in every boat, most people who accidentally gets attacked by a carnackfish survives the ordeal.
