Boundlings

From The Fifth City Wiki

"Rods of steel run through the Boundling's inflamed, swollen flesh. Its body had warped to fit its cage; even its red eyes are distorted, pulled out of alignment by the band across its face."[1]

Boundlings are very large fish whose bodies have been horrifically warped by metal cages and rods.[2][3] The Boundlings' torment was likely inflicted by the New Sequence, who are known to perform similar procedures on Bound-Sharks.[4]
