Culture: Depicted in legends by the species of the Asobi system, these large and dangerous fish are deep sea creatures that dwell in the shadows and rarely go to the surface. The females are smaller then the males by several meters and highly territorial as they feed in their parts of the ocean. The males swim from female to female usually on a loop being able to mate and spawn more. The rare times these creatures have been found they were revered as gods and monsters before the different species learned more science and technology learning how to keep them away with sub sonic fences and to attract them with electromagnetic pulses. The creature is a dangerous and something big game hunters in the Beast Hunters guild would drool over.

General behavior: The males are highly territorial attacking each other when they encounter each other in battles that are generally to the death and fought over the females within a territory. The male that wins taking over the territory plus his own but it is that much harder to defend. In legend and with the people of the world they are on they are prized as deep sea fishing and something special. They are aggressive towards boats when near the surface and generally avoid the shores unless attracted by electromagnetic sensors.
History:
Noted in legendary illustrations and murals of the worlds. The monster fish are a dangerous thing from the dawn of the planet evolving very little except maybe getting smaller and being pushed down deeper into the oceans but that isn't something one can be sure about. They are simply something left over from the world when there were more primitive creatures and more dangerous species around. before natural selection and an ice age or two thinned out many.
The Go Nagai would hunt them as sport to feed an entire village and use the scales for defensive purposes, the Del-ya have hunted them for food as well as to try and understand the dangerous creatures. As time has continued forward and the worlds have evolved the dangerous fish are easier to keep away or attract to different areas. Their resort worlds have several fences to protect from the fish, the deep sea hunters who wish to try to catch the creatures for sport and show.
