They lie perfectly still on the bottoms of shallow streams, eating any algae or refuse that happens to drift by. Travelers wading across streams may step on these fish by accident, as they’re virtually indistinguishable from stones. Pressure on the flatfish’s back causes dozens of inch-long spines to become erect; the tough spines can easily penetrate shoe leather. The spines inject poison that inflicts extreme, debilitating pain lasting as long as a week.Poison Effects TableOnset Time / Result of Failed Saving Throw*Gray flatfish 2-8 rounds / Victim experiences intense pain throughout his body for next 2-8 days. During that time, he makes all attack rolls and ability checks at a -2 penalty.*Victims of the Farrowdale mouse, copper opossum, and gray flatfish receive no modifiers to their saving throws. Cobra trout victims receive a -4 modifier.Originally appeared in Elminster’s Ecologies (1994).</blockquote>
