Encyclopedia entry

Shovelnose's flat snout allows it to plow the bottom like a bulldozer blade, unearthing worms, larvae, and crustaceans. It also acts as an effective antenna for detecting organisms large and small in the surrounding area, while allowing the fish to move swiftly even through fast-flowing rivers.

Its head plate is used in cottage industries, making the fish moderately valuable. However, it is still less prized than chitin-bearing creatures, as the plate is unsuitable for making armor.
