From Dragon #116SAWFISH/SAWSHARKFREQUENCY: UncommonNO. APPEARING: 2-8ARMOR CLASS: 6MOVE: //20"HIT DICE: 3% IN LAIR: NilTREASURE TYPE: NilNO. OF ATTACKS: 1 slashDAMAGE/ATTACK: 2-8SPECIAL ATTACKS: NilSPECIAL DEFENSES: NilMAGIC RESISTANCE: StandardINTELLIGENCE: Non-ALIGNMENT: NeutralSIZE: L (10-12' long)There is little to distinguish the sawfish from the sawshark except for the position of the gill slits on each fish. On the sawshark, the gill slits are on the sides of the neck; on the sawfish, the gills are on the underside of the body.The sawfish belongs to the family of rays, and is similar in some ways to the manta and stingray. The sawshark, however, is a true shark. Both the sawfish and sawshark are characterized by a long, flat snout with a row of teeth on each side. Both fish use a side-to-side slashing motion to attack their prey and to defend themselves. This sawlike snout makes up roughly half the total body length of each fish. On some individual fish, the snout itself may be 6' long.</blockquote>
