Description (Initial Observations): The barl nep is a mutant form of catfish that can attain a length of up to a meter and a half. Their scales are completely black and their heads are blunt and equipped with "whiskers" they use to help gather food.
Behavior & Society
- Reactions
- No known interactions
- Behavior
- Once per day the fish can excrete an Intensity 18 radioactive oil that covers 9 meters. The slick will last 10 minutes. If the fish is killed before it uses the oil, the oil may be extracted and carried in a lead-lined container as a Intensity 12 Radioactive oil.
- Repair & Healing
- Behavior not recorded
- Society
- Barl nep are found in freshwater rivers, ponds, and lakes, prefering relatively calm, shallow water where it can bottom-feed on small plants and animals. They tend to be solitary, although they're sometimes found in pairs. If a barl nep is caught and killed before releasing its radioactive oil, it can be extracted from its body with a successful skill check. Barl nep are considered a delicacy in some parts of Gamma Terra, provided they're properly prepared.
