Ambrosia Fish

The ambrosia fish is a venus fly trap in fish form, floating drunkenly from one location to the next until some curious creature catches the scent of the sweetly fermented liquid inside its body and wanders in. At this point, it snaps shut and its meal is digested into more of the sweet alcohol held within the body. The more this fish consumes, the more liquid-filled orbs form on its head, which can be plucked and consumed by pets, Mynrosians, or even the parasites they lure into their body. One may wonder, how a creature filled with liquid can keep that liquid within the container of its body when open to the surrounding water. The answer is surface tension, the liquid so viscous it repels the water and is kept in the cup of an ambrosia fish's body until expelled or in rare instances actively poured into a container by another creature.
