ABOUT

This huge piranha-looking fish bursts out of the water, spreading its wide fins and gliding toward you, its sharp-toothed mouth snapping.

Onwu Azu are a predatory fish that inhabit rivers deep in the jungle. They typically eat any animals that wade through their waters but have been known to jump high out of the water, gliding on their large membranous fins to chase after prey attempting to flee. Once they attack their prey, they latch on, hoping to cause enough damage with enough of their kin.
