A type of fish, particularly certain South American catfish of the family Doradidae, known for their bony plates and spines.
From the family name Doradidae, likely from a Greek or Spanish origin meaning 'thorny' or 'armed' (related to armored appearance).
Dorads are like tanks of the fish world—covered in bony armor and spikes, they're virtually untouchable predators in South American rivers, and their name reflects their intimidating appearance.
