About

Massive predators. Giant pike are rare and enormous fish, measuring nearly 20 feet in length.

Bottom feeders. Giant pike lurk near the bottom of lakes or underground rivers. They occasionally swim close to the surface in search of prey, particularly when that prey seems ripe for the feast.

Agile hunters. The giant pike’s favored tactic is to swim underneath their target and surprise them. The pike attempts to swallow any medium or smaller target and retreat. They are bold, but are inclined to retreat when their prey puts up too much of a fight.
