I know nothing of these fish, but they are apparently
dangerous if they can threaten a whole state.

Combat
They flop around on land, and bite in the water.

Magic Immunity (Ex): Northern Snakeheads are immune to all spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural effects.

I can hear the cry now "Oh no, I've been flopped!"

Actually, Snakeheads are valuable food fish in their native habitat.

Just skin the fish, gut it, grill it over an open flame, flavour it with salt and pepper, add a little lemon juice, and viola, a meal for a whole family.

Beware of its bite though, it can tear of a finger or two if you're not careful.
