Burning Fumes

The Greenmist Catfish. A life spent beneath the poisonous mud has caused the catfish's breath to grow putrid. Now, even when closed, its mouth emits a faint poisonous mist. It lies in wait with it's whiskers at the ready to snatch up any flying insects that stray too close to the water's surface. While technically classified as a monster, its presence in the poison swamp biomes goes mostly unnoticed due to its small size and docile nature.

It was one of these same small inconspicuous catfish––magnified many times by the power of the flame–that Rune and his party were facing now.

The beast was flopping around on its side after being forced out of the mud.

"Don't hold back! Don't underestimate it!" Rune yelled.

 At his command, Stella flashed forward in a burst of light and sent a devastating knife kick into the catfish's soft underside. A blast of light shot out from the other side as the catfish was pierced through and pushed up into the air.
