Bloatfish

The bloatfish was a species of fish found in the Great Glacier.
==Description==
The bloatfish resembled a white manta ray, featuring an inflated organ that protruded from its belly like a balloon. This organ's diameter matched or slightly exceeded the fish's length.
==Behavior==
The bloatfish displayed non-aggressive behavior, swiftly swimming away from any perceived threats.
==Ecology==
The balloon organ of the bloatfish remained filled with fresh water due to the fish's distinctive body chemistry. On rare occasions, fortunate fishermen managed to capture a bloatfish. They may choose to keep the frozen carcass with them, allowing them to enjoy sips of the organ's fresh water by puncturing a hole in the fish's side. Once the balloon organ was depleted, the fish could be savored as a satisfying meal.
Bloatfish were scavengers. They consumed plankton, organic waste and any organic material.
===Habitat===
The bloatfish inhabited the rivers and seas of the Great Glacier. Bloatfish were not territorial and had a natural inclination to form schools of different sizes. Their reproductive strategy involved laying numerous tiny eggs, typically numbering in the thousands.
