An aggressive predator of the rivers, the needlemouth is a gar-like holost found throughout the streams and tributaries of the island. Needlemouths are swift and maneuverable, able to negotiate the leaf-chocked jungle streams in pursuit of their favored prey: smaller to medium-sized bony fish like stink-fish (though they also jump to catch swamp-wings). These impressive hunters are the sharks of the waterways. While many of the reptilian river carnivores are ambush predators, needlemouths chase down their fast-moving prey, matching their speed and turns in flat-out races.

  • Ghastly Needle-mouth, 9-13 feet long An aggressive predator of the rivers, the Needlemouth was an extremely intelligent, pack-hunting garlike hunter found throughout the streams and tributaries of the island. Needlemouths were swift and maneuverable, albe to negotiate the leaf-choked jungle streams in pursuit of their favored prey, small and midsized fish. These incredibly impressive hunters were the sharks of the waterways. While many of the reptilian river carnivores were ambush hunters, groups of 3-9 Needlemouths chased down their fast-moving prey, matching their speed and turns in flat-out races, reaching a top speed of 31-56mph and able to sustain such speeds for relatively long periods of time.
