Swordfish

Contrary to popular belief, the bill of the swordfish is not used for impaling its prey, but to stun or slash. Specialized organs help keep it warm in the coldest waters, increasing its already considerable speed and reflexes.

Source Howl of the Wild pg. 148 2.0
These magnificent creatures hide beneath the surface of the calm lakes, flowing rivers, and vast seas. The water is their domain, and some are quite protective of their home.
