The Dogfish Symbol
Traits: Persistence & Strength - Born Leader
Description: A crest often applied to utilitarian objects, the Dogfish is often portrayed with a labret on its lip, a reminder of a legend of a woman carried off by Dogfish a long time ago. The Dogfish is equipped with a dangerous pair of sharp bony spikes, protruding each just ahead of the Dogfish's two dorsal fins. Not considered appealing as food, Dogfish were not a valued commodity. In fact, Dogfish are a great nuisance to fishermen seeking Salmon, Halibut, and Cod: they have a voracious appetite for bait and sandpaper rough skin suited for severing fishing lines.
