Lambda Serpentis II is teeming with sea life, most of which is peripheral to the story being told and needs nothing more than a name. The following tables are submitted as a tool to populate menus and uncharted waters on short notice, and inspiration for species to develop more fully.
Variants: roll 2d10 and consult the table below.
2: common
3: reason not to eat it (deadly, parasitic, poison)
4: warning coloration (banded, glow-striped, red-ringed)
5: pre-Recontact discoverer (Charter's, Raj's, Widow's)
6: size variant (colossal, dwarf, giant, pygmy)
7: inland biome (brownwater, estuary, marsh)
8: skin texture (pebbly, scaleless, slimy, spiny)
9: (higher number rolled)-eyed
10: littoral biome (greenwater, kelpfield, lagoon, reef)
11: region (Antillean, Haven, Meridian, Zion)
12: ocean biome (bluewater, mangrove, sargasso, seamount)
13: (lower number rolled)-eyed
14: colorful body part (bluegill, glow-striped, red-fanged, yellowfin)
15: mouthfeel (bony, flaky, gelatinous, oily)
16: post-Recontact discoverer (Hanover, Howell's, Rashid's, Wei's)
17: substantial evolutionary variant (eyeless, feathery, noisy, two-jawed)
18: beautiful coloration (copper, counterlit, jewelled, shiny)
19: species (kelp, man, shrimp, whale)-eating
20: flying
Species: roll 1d10 and consult the table below.
1: cooking method (baker, roaster, smoker, steamer)
2: fisher's frustration (crappy, hook thief, linebreaker, sea chaff)
3: fishing technique (baitball, basketfish, stunnable, trapper)
4: gratitous foreign language (gepanzert, samak, tiburón)
5: how it eats (gulper, nibbler, snapper, vampire)
6: meaning uncertain (bear, goose, wolf, yak)
7: primary use (chum, gluefish, saucefish, whitebait)
8: serial killer nickname (butcher, devil, ripper)
9: taste (bitter, buttery, emetic, lemonfish)
10: vermin (leech, maggot, roach, weevil)
