Dredger
Dredgers are creatures that resemble catfish and can usually be found in the murky waters near the bottom of a lake or deep stream. While Dredgers are capable of breathing air and slowly crawling along the ground with their strong, semi-prehensile whiskers, they are much more at home in the water.
A Dredger will eat anything it can find, and while they start out the size of a trout, Dredgers can grow to rival whales in size. Expeditious whalers will hunt Dredgers, as whole suits of armor or treasure chests have been found in their stomachs multiple times.
