Ecology: Found all through the streams, rivers, and waterways of Skull Island, Needlemouths are fast-moving predators of small to medium-sized fish.

Personality/Motivation: Typical animal motivations.

Powers/Tactics: Needlemouths are aggressive pursuit predators, chasing down fish as opposed to ambushing them.

Appearance: A Needlemouth has a gar-like appearence, with a long, narrow body 9-13' feet in length, and a long, narrow snout. As their name implies, a Needlemouth's jaws are lined with sharp teeth.

Designer's Notes: The Needlemouth was based off of the Swordfish character sheet found in the HERO System Bestiary, and scaled down to the right size. It didn't appear in King Kong.
