The helicoprion is a large, eel-bodied fish with a bizarre spiral of teeth in its lower jaw, resembling a circular saw. Despite its strange appearance, it is a swift and cunning predator, capable of striking from below with a lightning-fast tail whip followed by a vicious bite. Often mistaken for a shark at a distance, its movements are sleek, precise, and deadly. It lurks in deeper coastal waters or sunken caverns, lying in wait to ambush prey that swims overhead. Fisherfolk speak of a sudden crack on the hull—and then silence, as swimmers vanish in red-tinged foam.
