Found only in the oceans near desert cities, namely Orcish settlements, the Puvgump is a deadly fish much like a pufferfish.
Fish Anatomy
The Puvgump fish is quite similar to the pufferfish; both are capable of inflating their stomach with air or water, and both have large external spines on their stomach. The main difference between the Puffer and Puvgump is that the Puffer's poison is much more deadly. The two fish look quite similar, though the Puvgump is found only in the oceanic waters near the Orcish city of San'Orka.
The fish's poison is found only within their venom sac, a small black orb within the fishes' body. The meat is safe to eat as long as the sac is not ruptured. When ruptured, all parts of the fish becomes tainted. The meat is still edible, although the consumer will gradually feel the effects of the toxin over the course of half an hour to an hour. The effects will last anywhere from half a day to a few days, depending on how much tainted meat had been eaten.
Poison
When administered directly to the bloodstream, the toxin works quickly. Within a few minutes, the afflicted find themselves in a trance-like state. Their senses are dulled and their movement is sluggish. The victim is extremely vulnerable to suggestion during this time.
The toxin can also be absorbed through skin contact, although it takes much, much longer than if it was introduced into the bloodstream. Anyone handling the toxin must take safety precautions, else they run the risk of doping themselves up.
The poison comes from the Puvgump fish's venom sac. If the sac is found unbroken, it will be filled with a clear liquid. If the sac has been broken, the poison will spread to the rest of the fish, spoiling the meat but also transferring any venomous properties to it. The meat can be dried and ground into a powder, although it will be far less potent than in it's pure, liquid form.
The effects last anywhere from one day to a month, depending on how large of a dose was applied. It is possible to kill with a large enough dose, it's just unlikely; usually the larger a dose, the longer the affect.
