Freighorn
One two, Freighorn spikes. Three four, you should hide. Five six, needle strikes! Seven eight, red goes tide.Freighorns are fearsome creatures from the depths of the Midrast Oceans. Their heads have elongated narrow snouts full of jagged teeth with two yellow fish-eyes on either side of their skulls. However, their greatest weapon is hiding their dorsal fins as they use them not only for swimming but also for shooting thorn-like needles at their prey to injure or paralyze them, making them incredibly dangerous save for the best of Water Clawstoppers.
