Prickly Gurnard guide
A listed maximum of 110 kg makes Prickly Gurnard the 343rd heaviest of 1,059 documented fish, and its range runs from 25 kg up to that ceiling with an average of 67.5 kg. It is a Legendary catch from Drylands, where the wiki records 25 fish in total, and Shrimp is the bait it names.
The conditions are narrower than the location alone suggests: Clear weather and Summer are listed, while no time of day is given. The fish sells for an average of C$2,240, or C$33.182 per kg, which puts it 353rd of 1,038 on average value. Base XP is 3,200. The wiki quote calls it "an exotic bottom feeder possessing walking-spines and armored plates designed to scale cavern water-walls."
Three other Legendary fish share Drylands with it: Dune-Stalker Eel, Ancient Coelacanth and Claypan Guppy.
Verdict: its worth rests on size rather than price per kilo, with C$2,240 on average and 3,200 XP for a Shrimp-baited Summer catch.
