“In the black rocks about Tahiti is found the black noki or lava-fish (Emmydrichthys vulcanus), which corresponds perfectly in color and form to a piece of lava. This fish is also noteworthy for having envenomed spines in the fin on its back.”
-Jordan, Kellogg and Heath, _Animal Studies: A Text-book of Elementary
Zoology_. 1903


Useful Info

Lava fish are slightly more dangerous than the water dwelling big fish, but are generally found so rarely and under such controlled conditions that they pose no major threat. Their attacks deals additional fire damage and can burn your scrolls. They can be found in any body of lava except in the earliest portions of the Dungeon.

Tips & Tricks

Ignore it. The experience for killing it is negligible by the time you face them, and the potential for losing scrolls is usually not worth the risk. If you insist on doing so, however, use ranged attacks, use a source of conservation, or just drop your scrolls before going into combat.
