Gars are swift-swimming fish with sleek bodies and long, slender jaws, usually found living in deep bodies of freshwater. They typically grow to around seven feet in length, although the kind known as alligator gars are known to reach lengths of ten feet, and are aggressive predators of anything as large as or smaller than themselves.1

Giant gars

Rarely, gars grow to sizes far in excess of those of their regular kin. These giant gars are known to reach up to thirty feet in length and are dangerous, voracious predators. Despite their rarity, they are popular companions and guard animals among scrags and freshwater merrows, as well as among the few sea hags who live in lakes or rivers.1

On Golarion

Gars are known to live in lakes throughout Varisia, including Lake Coal and Claybottom Lake.2
