History:



Channel Catfish are common in the Circular and Mendez Rivers as they spill into the Mississippi river where they flourish. These catfish however, mutated into hybrid amphibious creatures now called 'Stalkers' among other names. They have grown significantly larger than their non-infected cousins, as well as developing large, clawed feet similar to that of a frog. They make a low, hissing, gurgling sound as they attempt to breathe in the open air, and their large jaws allow them to easily scarf up anything that can fit inside.

Skills:
Amphibious: Capable of moving about on land as well as in the water; their long and finned bodies allow them better speed and mobility in the water however, and they are generally slower on land, having to drag or whip around their spiny, long tails.
Spines: The bony spines are sharp and can be deadly when the mudcat uses force behind its slimy body.
Feelers: Its feelers still function and can even detect minor disturbances in the air
Poor Eyesight: Their eyesight is poorer than it used to be, but functions enough to see prey at close range or above.
Swallow Whole: Catfish swallow their prey, and that is still the case with these hybrid giants. They are capable of devouring anything that can fit inside its jaws, and then some!
