Fresh from the drawing table... Barracuda!

I have for you another drawing that is fresh from the drawing table. This time around it is a Barracuda! Still working my way through "B", especially the mundane monsters. Nevertheless, the mundane monsters must get all the love... even when they are just a fish. They all have their place in my universe. I present to you my version of a Barracuda… 

Barracuda

Sometimes it just does not work out for a monster. Sometimes they just end up mounted on a wall. Sometimes they will take off someones hand before that happens. Sometimes before they end up on a wall they take someones hand off and they are beaten to death with a club. I originally was playing around with the idea of having the Barracuda in a large jar as if it was component, specimen, or food item. I knew I didn't want to have it in the water swimming around or in battle... there will be plenty of time for the when I get to the Gar (Giant) and Octopus (Giant). SO... the Barracuda gets to live out its mundane monster life on the wall in a tavern.
