Description Finally... my greatest creation.... the Flat Fuck Fish. 

Some information about the Flori (informally known as the Flat Fuck):

The Flori (plural: Flories) has the potential to live a long time! However, adult flories rarely make it past 35 years. The oldest flori on record reached just under 130 years. 
    -One of the reasons flories rarely live as long is due to their light weight and method of travel. When a flori wishes to change location, it must spring out of the water to due so. This puts it at risk of being caught by a gust of wind, which would carry the flori up into the sky. From here, the flori would either die from the fall, starvation, or from drying out. 

Flories inhabit the shallow waters and marshes of Palamino lake and often nest underneath structures like the docks.
    -Similarly to wind gusts, the flori can be overtaken by underwater currents (be it caused by a wyngro jumping in, water magic, etc.) which often leaves the flori far from its nest and unable to hunt its primary prey, ponches. 
    -When faced by water currents, flories are extrememly weak swimmers, which is why they stick to shallow waters where they are less likely to be swept up. However, it is not uncommon to witness the tumbling form of a flori that drifted too far into the lake.

Flories have long prehensile tongues that have a resemblance to ori tongues, which is in part how floris got their name (the other being "flat")!
    -These tongues are used to suck out the bodies of prey from whatever shell they could be hiding in.

Flories swim by doing a full body wriggle that, when airborne, sounds like the "wubba-wubba-wubba" of laminated paper!
    -The "arms" of a flori aid more in steering and direction than in speed. 

Flori eggs are hard and flat, resembling rocks! They are usually laid in clusters near dock posts, stumps, or a similar structure within the muddy/sandy waters. 
    -On average, puckoo eat 1-3 flori eggs. Sad. 

A common behavior seen by flories is the flaring up of the tail once finding prey. Otherwise, the tail lays flat and appears like old rotting leaves.
    -Similarly, the "fingers" a flori head resemble either sticks or blades of grass. 

Flories as a species hold little-to-no threat to wyngro physically. Emotionally and mentally, however, is another story. The sickening crunch on bone that is heard if a wyngro accidentally steps on a flori is enough to leave a gro scarred for life and dreading hearing that and the following "wubba-wubba-wubba" for the rest of their life. Fishers also have many stories to tell of a flori mistaking their legs for food, and they have the circular bruise to prove it. 

Flori juveniles have something dubbed as a "rock string" on either side of the body which they lose 2-2.5 years after hatching. This "rock string" serves as a weight that will keep the babies from being swept away. 
    -Imagine little fish as flat as a pancake and just barely the size of your palm tumbling through the air. What if one lands on you? Terrifying. 

Flori meat is hard to come by in huge portions, simply because the fish is so flat and they don't reach their full size until 6 years post-hatching. It is best served raw with light seasoning and in dipping sauce. 


AND THERE WE HAVE IT FOLKS! THE FLAT FUCK! YES!
