Ecology: Papilio and Sepulcro are bottom-dwelling ambush predators. They tend to remain hidden in the silt and muck of the river and stream bottoms, bursting up with a sweep of their huge tails to swallow masses of small fish into the cavernous mouths. About the only major difference between the two is their choice of prey, with Papilio tending to hunt invertebrates, while Sepulcro goes after bony fish.

Personality/Motivation: Typical animal motivations.

Powers/Tactics: Both fish have large mouths, with Sepulcro capable of devouring animals nearly as big as itself due to its expandable stomach, and tend to attack by simply swallowing everything in range of a single bite. Because of their size, they tend to remain immobile, moving from the bottom only if disturbed.

Appearance: Papilio and Sepulcro are heavy-bodied, elongated fish, measuring four to five feet long. Papilio has large fan-like fins and tends to a yellowish-green coloration, while Sepulcro is bluish with brownish stripes.

Designer's Notes: Both fish were (loosely) based off of the Swordfish character sheet found in the HERO System Bestiary. It didn't appear in King Kong.
