Placofish (Pokemon)

From the depths of the sea rise Placodish, the scourge of sailors. It evolves from Aqualish at level 16 and evolves into Placochomp at level 36.

Physiology
Considered a Water-horse among pokemon, these serpentine creatures are quite handsomely formed. The bones in its top jaw have fused over its skin, encasing the top of the pokemon's skull in this stony exoskeleton. The 'ears' crowning the back of its head are actually extensions of this jaw, and are by those whom view the placofish negatively considered 'reverse fangs' that are just as capable as its teeth to tear into steel.

Behavior
While not exactly violent, a more appropriate term for the Placofish would be it's a very inconvenient pokemon. Just swimming in shallow water it has a habit of brushing against things, which due to the backwards 'teeth' at the back of its skull leaves grooves. The main goal of their kind appears to be showing off their teeth; and fellow water pokemon do well enough to give Placofish- more specifically its mouth- a wide berth when it swims by. While in an ideal situation a Placofish will bite stones and the tough coral of reefs, there have been many reports that they also happen to bite holes into ships or tear apart the support beams of a pier. In the wild, it's just best to avoid any confrontation with a Placofish. It DOES bite.

Habitat
Usually any saltwater shoreline can harbor these nipping beasts; but they seem to gather more towards areas that give them a wide range. Whether it's the bottom of the sea or in a shallow port harbor, if they can satisfy their need to chew they'll flock into such areas.

Diet
Usually anything that fits into its mouth is considered food.
