Pugils

Pugils are a large, common fish native to nearly every body of water throughout Vana'diel. Their bodies are covered in durable scales, and their sharp teeth can cause painful wounds to any adventurer careless enough to be bitten. It uses water both to defend itself and to attack with, and can also use its strong snout as a crude lance to impale adversaries.
