Zalera

Zalera are a unique subspecies of angelfish (wavekin) found only in the waters between Middle La Noscea and Limsa Lominsa.

The name of the zalera comes with a terrible provenance. Many unlucky souls consumed what they thought to be common angelfish filets, only to die with their very mouthfuls of food unswallowed. It was discovered that these were not mere oversized angelfish, but also that their flesh was deadly poison. And so, the new fish was renamed for the Angel of Death, and properly feared.

Fortunately, the zalera holds court only during the warm middle hours of the day, and so a fisherman seeking an angelfish for supper should try his luck in the cool of morning or evening.
