Flounderoids are a species of giant slug-like fishes. One species is native to Estros.

Background[]

It weighed a thousand kilos at least, and it towered ten meters above the surrounding dock. Green and red and yellow and orange it was colored, covered in slime and scales, and smelling of the deep. It roared like a bunnus in heat, revealing jaws that could swallow an entire human whole. THey are giant Flounderoid like none ever shown before (even on PBS), it possessed teeth and claws and an appetite for destruction. When attacking prey, two tentacles shoot out of its mouth, from places tentacles have no natural right to be, and start wrapping themselves around their victims, pulling and yanking with the impatience of a killing time. In time it entwines its prey while pulling them towards its large jaws.

Behind the scenes[]

Interestingly this description mentions the teeth and claws. While the version in the game does appear ot have teeth at the end of its each section of its maw (really only four teeth one for each maw), the claws must be in reference to its two forlegs that it users to hold onto the side of the pool. The alternate looking tentacled frog/salamander like 'flounderoid'/'sea slug' from the cover doesn't appear to have teeth per se, but perhaps 'baleen' on its lower beak (or is it a fish-like mouth).
