Encyclopedia entry
A mutated Gleamer that has lost its beauty and elegance. The exposed flesh near its fin is covered in inflamed buboes. When ruptured, they release caustic spores that blind victims underwater. On the surface, the buboes harden and dry out.
Like a broken mirror, the Crackback is believed to bring bad luck to anglers. But who cares about superstition these days? What matters is that its sturdy jaws are highly valuable and useful.
