Description
The Cave Fisher Matriarch can be seen as a queen of a cave fisher lineage, these creatures are up to 7 feet long and their outer shell has a brilliant white color. They spend most of their time in shallow pools of water with large amounts of calcium deposits to help form this harder shell by bringing calcium into their bodies and converting it to calcium carbonate. These matriarchs are unable to swim due to the heavy weight of their bodies so shallow wading pools are a preferred environment for them. Their eggs, much like the eggs of a crayfish, require being submerged in water so they do not dry out. These eggs are incredibly flammable and will even ignite when completely wet. The matriarch may use this flammability as a last resort to save itself from an attacker by lighting her own clutch on fire creating a large explosion.
