Ittiz Foi

Splitting from their ancestor, the ittiz foi has now spread beyond the range of its ancestor. Capable of now moving between salt and freshwater thanks to their ability to control the salt content in their bodies, they now happily feed and multiply. Their "flesh" is bitter in taste, and is covered in dark speckles. Young ones, however, lack these patterns as well as the bitter taste so they typically hide in secure areas until they are fully grown. When in fresh water, the ittiz foi pumps out salt so that water may enter its body though osmosis. In salt water, however, it retains a higher concentration of salt within its body in order to achieve the same effect. This has allowed it to thrive in both of these habitats, though in order to move from one to another it has to spend several hours adjusting its body chemistry within brackish water.
