Description and lore
A cave fish specimen supplies a toxic biological ingredient for prepared poisons.
The enclosed waters of a cave give the specimen a distinct setting: dark pools, wet ledges and light brought by the collector.
Preserving and labelling the ingredient matters to anyone using it at a bench. Its danger is better suggested by careful handling than exaggerated anatomy.
