Description: The broadbill swordfish, Xiphias gladius, is a member of the class of bony fish, Osteichthyes. The swordfish gets its name from its most distinctive feature -- the elongated upper jaw that looks like a sword. The swordfish's sword is so impressive that Christopher Columbus brought one back with him as a souvenir of the New World.

Here is some animal trivia concerning ZT's swordfish. It is an Atlantic Swordfish, which is a subspecies of Swordfish. Internally, Blue Fang used the name "marlin". However, swordfish are not marlins. Marlin is a Family of fish with spear-like bills while swordfish, as the name implies, have long sword-like bills.
