Corpse Carp

Fish Facts
The Corpse Carp is one of the more macabre fish species found in NLACakaNM's waterways. They're often mistaken for actual corpses, due to their appearance and trademark stench. This has led to more than a few incidents where a gang member mistook a corpse carp floating lazily down a river for a fallen comrade, and then organized a (technically unprovoked)revenge mission against the opposing gang, starting a spat of conflicts and violence. Quite hilarious to see in action! Anyway, you might be wondering why the corpse carp smells so damn bad and looks like Margaret Thatcher crawled out of her grave. Well, thanks to some recent technological advances at SlimeCorp, researchers have been able to better study the phenomenon of the corpse-ness of the corpse carp, and have determined that they bear a unique mutation that places them in a quasi-undead state. This causes them to live in a peculiar state of necrosis, with much of their tissues rotting and sloughing off, while still paradoxically being able to function. Some theorize that they picked up this ability after passing through the sewers, and Staydead folklore regarding the corpse carp corroborates this theory.
