“What is that?” – Anonymous, R.I.P.

These foul creatures appear to be giant lion fish. Some say that their eyes give off a faint green glow, but few have survived coming close enough to confirm the rumor. The long fins of a Bastard Fish trail further below a Bastard Fish than one might expect (as far as 6″ on a game table), but fish does not suffer if these are damaged.

They are actually quite intelligent, however, and they possess the capacity to float in the air as if swimming. Endowed with great Spiritual Power, Bastard Fish use it to satisfy their incredible hunger. But these creatures do not merely kill for food; they also do it for pleasure.
