Real-world information[edit]

lionfish

The zebra turkeyfish, more commonly known as a luna lionfish, is found in tropical water in the western Pacific Ocean, especially around Japan and Mauritius. They have 13 venomous spines on their bodies (also called fin rays) that are used both as a defence mechanism and to hunt prey. In humans the venom can cause symptoms such as severe pain, nausea, difficulty breathing, and convulsions. In rare cases the venom can be fatal, usually only in people who are very young, elderly, or have a weakened immune system. They have few predators, likely due to their venomous fin rays, however there have been some sightings of predators like Moray Eels and sharks hunting them.
