    The only niche I can really see these things filling is some sort of shoreline fish-nabber, and that's weird, because I don't think we have any big carnivores that do anything like that. I mean, sure, bears fish for salmon, but they're not adapted to do only that.

    Maybe a possible parallel is Pakicetus.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
