Sursturgeon

starts to ferment while still alive

HP 4, Morale −

Special: Ferments alive. The taste is terrible. The smell is worse. Eventually it dies, improving nothing.

Lore: A fish that begins to spoil before it dies. Lake Onda's water cannot keep up with the rot. The Sursturgeon swims slower each year, releasing gases as it goes, and when it finally tips belly-up the lake smells like a forgotten cellar for weeks. The Wästland poor still eat it. The Wästland poor still survive it. Mostly.
