The Flute-Nosed Thermometer Fish.

Drawing for a prospective bestiary.


The HEINOUS Flute-Nosed Thermometer Fish. A tenacious and unruly beast of aquatic nature. So called because of its curious snout and its ghastly propensity to surprise a gentleman waist deep in water by trying to take his temperature not unlike a veterinarian surgeon takes the temperature of an unwell dog.
