51This dark green variety of seaweed found in all five of Eorzea's seas has been known to grow up to a malm (1760 yalms) in length.477640FalseFalse01280TrueFalseFalse
62A brown-carapaced freshwater crustacean commonly found in the rivers and lakes of Aldenard. So eager are crayfish to grasp at anything that may happen by, fishers boast that they need not even bait their lines to catch the creatures.492520FalseFalse21480TrueFalseFalse
73When spawning, the head, belly, and tail of this common freshwater fish take on a vibrant red hue─a color which, across Eorzea, traditionally represents happiness and longevity. Because of this, chubs are often given as gifts to newlyweds.492630FalseFalse21340TrueFalseFalse
84A vividly striped saltwater fish commonly found in the Strait of Merlthor. The gobies are situated near the bottom of the food chain and feed a great deal of larger species. This makes the fish an ideal choice for mooching.486930FalseFalse01340TrueFalseFalse
95For many generations, Lominsan anchovies were not actively caught, due to their insignificant size. However, after a Qiqirn deckhand discovered one rotting in the corner of the bilge hold on a fishing vessel and found it to be sublime, the demand for salt-cured Lominsan anchovies has risen dramatically.487030FalseFalse01340TrueFalseFalse
106A brightly striped freshwater fish native to the rivers and lakes of the Coerthas and Mor Dhona regions. Coerthan legend states that the striped goby was not always a fish, but once a brightly plumed bird cast to the bottom of the seas by the Fury for flying too near Her realm.492740FalseFalse21480TrueFalseFalse
117An undersized variety of catfish found in still, swampy waters across Aldenard. The Padjali name for this fish is “gee-gee,” supposedly taken from the grinding sound created when it moves its fins.492840FalseFalse21340TrueFalseFalse
128A common saltwater shrimp found in the plankton-rich waters of the Sea of Jade. Boiled in seawater and topped with a squeeze of fresh Thanalan sun lemon is the preferred method of preparation.487140FalseFalse01340TrueFalseFalse
139A white-carapaced freshwater crustacean commonly found living in caves or deep lakes where sunlight is absent. After molting, the new shell is so thin and transparent that one can see the creature's organs.492950FalseFalse21480TrueFalseFalse
1410A piece of sharp coral native to the shallow seas all along Eorzea's coastlines. A literal treasure of the deep, white coral has been used for ages in not only jewelry, but sculptures and other works of art.546050FalseFalse01340TrueFalseFalse
1511Unlike other freshwater trout, which make their habitat in swift-flowing rivers, the silver princess trout prefers the relative seclusion of inland lakes. This has made the wavekin a favorite amongst recreational fishers who seek a more relaxing pastime.493050FalseFalse21340TrueFalseFalse
1612A semi-transparent jellyfish commonly found in the Strait of Merlthor, where it goes through nine separate stages of development before reaching adulthood.487260FalseFalse01340TrueFalseFalse
1713A hardy species, the dusk goby can survive not only in freshwater, but also the mouths of rivers, where the tides can bring saltwater malms inland. Depending on the salt content of the water it lives in, the color of its scales can vary from a deep amber to a golden orange.493160FalseFalse21340TrueFalseFalse
1814A purple, spiny, sluglike creature found in the shallows off of the island of Mazlaya, and treasured in the Far East as a delicacy.487370FalseFalse01350TrueFalseFalse

2016A fierce freshwater fish most commonly found in Gridania's Jadeite Flood and Black Tea Brook. Though not large or strong enough to inflict any real damage, pipira will bite the ankles of anyone who steps near them.493270FalseFalse21480TrueFalseFalse
2117A scarlet-carapaced freshwater crustacean commonly found in the streams and lakes of Vylbrand. The wavekin, however, is not born crimson─its shell slowly turning from blue to grey to brown to red as it ages.493380FalseFalse21370TrueFalseFalse
2218A bivalve mollusk native to the island of Bianaq, but found in all the five seas. Its rich, nutty flavor, in addition to its wide availability, have seen the vongola clam become a common addition to chowders and stews across Eorzea.487580FalseFalse01350TrueFalseFalse
2319Each night, this freshwater fish will use its fins to dig a shallow burrow in river or lake beds, where it will sleep, relatively safe from predators. Because of this characteristic, La Noscean fishers often playfully refer to the wavekin by another name─the “cravenfish.”493480FalseFalse21340TrueFalseFalse
2420A colorful saltwater fish commonly found in the warm seas around the island of Bianaq. Not known for its flavor, the wavekin is most often put on display in aquariums.487690FalseFalse01340TrueFalseFalse
2521This long, thin, brass-colored freshwater fish is believed to be native to the rivers and lakes of the Yafaem Saltmoor. The thick coat of protective slime covering the loach's body discourages most predators from feeding on the tiny wavekin...most predators, that is, except hungry Lalafellin farmers who consider the brass loach a delicacy.493590FalseFalse31520TrueFalseFalse
2622Legend states that once a normal fish, the flounder was stepped upon by the Wanderer during one of His journeys, and left for dead. Upon finding the fish, the Navigator succeeded in breathing life back into the denizen of the deep, but could not restore it from its new flattened form.4877100FalseFalse01350TrueFalseFalse
2723Large schools of these dark silver fish can be found in the White Maiden and her tributaries. Their tendency to gather in great numbers makes them quite easy to catch, and as such they have been a staple for those living in the Twelveswood since the time of the first settlers.4936100FalseFalse21480TrueFalseFalse
2824A tiny freshwater fish native to the lakes and rivers fed by runoff from Abalathia's Spine. Too small to fillet, the fish are usually tossed into stewpots and eaten whole.4937350FalseFalse21550TrueFalseFalse
2925Commonly found in sea caves and grottoes, the eyes of this freshwater fish regressed long ago, earning the specimen its name. As it has lost its ability of sight, it catches its prey, rather, by sensing changes in the flow of the water around it.4938310FalseFalse31350TrueFalseFalse
3026A small bluish grey crab found in tide pools along the La Noscean coast. Their tendency to cut fishing lines and steal bait from hooks makes these wavekin despised by fishers.4878120FalseFalse01350TrueFalseFalse
3127An amphibious fish which can survive for bells out of water as long as its skin remains moist. When on land, the mudskipper uses its pectoral fins to “wander” about in search of shelter. Because of this trait, the fish is sometimes associated with the god Oschon.4939130FalseFalse31400TrueFalseFalse
3228Found in the crystal-clear rivers and lakes of Mor Dhona and Coerthas, this fish's scales reflect all seven colors of the rainbow, making it difficult to locate in the water.4940150FalseFalse21550TrueFalseFalse
3329A tiny freshwater crustacean commonly found in rivers throughout Eorzea. Known to feed on dead fish and algae, it is believed that if the river crab were ever to disappear, the realm's waters would quickly become fouled with corruption.4941150FalseFalse21520TrueFalseFalse
3430A striped saltwater fish indigenous to the cold northern waters of the Bloodbrine Sea. The name “tiger” is said to have been taken from a similarly striped beast native to the faraway jungles of Othard.4879150FalseFalse01350TrueFalseFalse

3632This saltwater wavekin, most commonly found in the shallows of the Strait of Merlthor, is protected by a hard shell resembling a helmet. Renowned naturalist (assistant) Atelloune claims that (after slaying a few score) the shells share a similarity to those of diremites, and that therefore the two species must be related.4880160FalseFalse01350TrueFalseFalse
3733A common freshwater fish found in rivers and lakes in almost every corner of Eorzea. A staple for many of the realm's smallfolk.4943170FalseFalse31400TrueFalseFalse
3834Believed to have hitched a ride on the hull of a trade ship, the acorn snail is an invasive species originally from the New World, far to the west. As it has few natural predators in Eorzea, its numbers have exploded in recent years.4944170FalseFalse21400TrueFalseFalse
3935Also known as the milk of the sea, these tasty bivalve mollusks can be found on sea rocks all around Eorzea, but it is said the plumpest, most succulent grow in the nutrient-rich waters of the Rothlyt Sound.4881170FalseFalse01350TrueFalseFalse
4036A small freshwater fish originally from the eastern continent of Othard. It is said that the first dark sleeper was introduced to Eorzea by an exiled Lalafellin prince who wished to once again experience the luxuries of his homeland.4945180FalseFalse21530TrueTrueFalse
4137A fair-sized freshwater fish found distributed evenly throughout the lakes and rivers of lower Vylbrand. Is known to feed on minnows, making lures shaped like the tiny wavekin the perfect bait for landing a perch.4946180FalseFalse21340TrueFalseFalse
4238These long, thin saltwater fish will oft jump out of the water and glide for yalms across the surface, using their pectoral fins as ersatz wings. Some fishers today still believe that the wavekin are knives thrown by Llymlaen at Her enemies.4882180FalseFalse11380TrueFalseFalse
4339Historic records state that these carp were originally introduced to the Jadeite Flood to serve as food in the event of a siege. Legend has that a man in a faraway kingdom once caught ten thousand in a single sitting.4947190FalseFalse31320TrueFalseFalse
4440A small colorful fish native to the warmer waters of the seas near Meracydia. Since the Calamity, more and more have been caught off Eorzea's southern coastline.4883190FalseFalse11340TrueFalseFalse
4541The copperfish's dull orange scales─a hue rare in freshwater wavekin─make this species popular amongst Ul'dahn nobles, who apparently prefer even their fish the color of their coin. Not native to Eorzea, it is believed the first copperfish were brought to the realm by Far East traders.4948200FalseFalse31400TrueFalseFalse
4642Hatched far up inland rivers, bluebell salmon will travel all the way downstream to the Indigo Deep where they will spend the majority of their adulthood. Then, however, when it comes time to spawn, they will return back upstream to the place of their birth.4949200FalseFalse21390TrueFalseFalse

4844As its name implies, the mudcrab spends most of its life in the muddy freshwater shallows of swamps and moors. There are still some superstitious smallfolk who believe that the wavekin are actually the spawn of golems, and will go out of their way to crush them under rocks upon finding one.4950210FalseFalse21410TrueFalseFalse
4945The somber blue tone of its skin does not indicate that this variety of octopus is any more docile than its crimson cousins. It is a crafty hunter which lurks in the shadows, snatching unwary prey and strangling it with its powerful eight arms before shredding it with its razor-sharp beak.4885210FalseFalse11350TrueFalseFalse
5046Patches of gold, silver, and bronze cover this medium-sized freshwater fish's body, making it a favorite choice for the private garden pools of Ul'dahn nobles. Without selective breeding practices, however, the tricolored carp will almost always lose its beautiful hues in the span of but a few generations.4951210FalseFalse21480TrueFalseFalse
5147Thought to be born of blood spilled by Azeyma, the Warden, the grip of this tiny freshwater crustacean's claw is so strong, it has been the end of many a Lalafell's fingers...and more. Take care when handling.4952220FalseFalse21400TrueFalseFalse
5248Similar to salmon, this green-grey freshwater eel lives the majority of its life in the salty waters of the sea, returning to inland rivers to only spawn and die.4953220FalseFalse21390TrueTrueFalse
5349A saltwater fish that, when provoked, blows up to three times its normal size to intimidate the would-be attacker. It is also known to have an organ which contains a potent silencing poison.4886220FalseFalse01370TrueFalseFalse
5450This bivalve freshwater mollusk with a tear-shaped shell can be found either clinging to the side of submerged boulders or simply lying half-buried in the mud. As any impurity it consumes will remain in its body for the duration of its lifespan, the pond mussel can be used to determine the level of water corruption.4954230FalseFalse31390TrueFalseFalse
5551This freshwater fish can only survive in tepid waters such as those heated by the flows of lava coursing beneath the mighty volcano O'Ghomoro or the desert sun of Thanalan.4955230FalseFalse21390TrueFalseFalse
5652With an almost completely transparent body, this variety of freshwater perch is coveted by naturalists wishing to study the inner workings of organs on a living specimen.4956240FalseFalse21340TrueFalseFalse
5753Four-eyed fish do not actually have four eyes, but two eyes that are divided into an upper and lower portion that allow the wavekin to see both above and below the water at the same time. Contrary to popular belief, eating one will not improve or restore eyesight.4957240FalseFalse21390TrueFalseFalse
5854This tiny saltwater fish travels in giant schools through the Indigo Deep searching for food. Its razor-like fins have been known to cut straight through the strongest of fishing nets.4887240FalseFalse11380TrueFalseFalse
5955Black eels reach maturity in the Sea of Jade, at which point they return back up the Velodyna and Hathoeva rivers to spawn. A popular ingredient in pies, these wavekin are best sought after at night, for they hide in holes and crevices during the daylight hours, only emerging to hunt after sunset.4958250FalseFalse21530TrueTrueFalse
6056This freshwater fish, known for its voracious appetite, is originally native to the southern continent of Meracydia. As its only natural predator is man, dark bass numbers have risen greatly in recent years, especially due to the increasing popularity of the faerie bass.4959250FalseFalse31410TrueFalseFalse
6157A piece of sharp coral native to the shallow coastal regions of the Rhotano Sea. Jewelry crafted from the material is oft given the name “Rhotano blue.”5461250FalseFalse11370TrueFalseFalse
6258A large saltwater wavekin that roams the sea in small schools, preying on smaller fish such as anchovies or sardines. Its name comes from fishers who claim that landing an ogre barracuda is more difficult than slaying an actual ogre.4888250FalseFalse11340TrueFalseFalse
6359Whereas other shrimp shed their old exoskeletons each summer in favor of new ones, the aegis shrimp simply adds a new layer every year until the shell is so hard, not even a blow from a trained pugilist can break through it.4960260FalseFalse31410TrueFalseFalse
6460This freshwater fish commonly found in the rivers of the Black Shroud will often grow no larger than a mere five ilms.4961260FalseFalse31530TrueFalseFalse
6561This deep-sea-dwelling wavekin attracts its prey with a tiny glowing appendage protruding forth from its disfigured head, and then swallows the poor victim whole with its unnaturally large mouth. It is believed that the name comes from the resemblance of the appendage to the candles monks use when transcribing manuscripts.4889260FalseFalse11400TrueFalseFalse
6662It is said that the naturalist who first discovered the wavekin wished to name it a “sea horse,” after a creature he once claimed to have seen on his travels in Ilsabard. However, when his colleagues all chided him, the crestfallen naturalist begrudgingly settled on the more common “chocobo.”4890260FalseFalse01370TrueFalseFalse
6763Though not amphibious like the mudskipper, the climbing perch will jump from Black Shroud rivers onto low-lying tree branches in order to catch flies, beetles, and sometimes even small birds.4962270FalseFalse31530TrueFalseFalse
6864A large whiskered fish that can be found in the calm marshes of the Black Shroud. It uses those whiskers to sense the movement of nearby fish, waiting patiently until one swims directly in front of it. Once close enough, the catfish will open its massive maw and swallow its prey whole.4963270FalseFalse31540TrueFalseFalse
6965A cherry-colored saltwater fish found in abundance in all of Eorzea's five seas, though it is said those caught near Bianaq are the largest. The pinkish hue of its scales is thought to come from the finger shrimp upon which it preys.4891270FalseFalse11370TrueFalseFalse
7066Native to the rivers and lakes of the Black Shroud, this freshwater fish uses electric receptors on its body to stun its prey. In recent years, Gridanian naturalists have begun to investigate the therapeutic properties of black ghosts, claiming that a few bells soaking in a lukewarm pool filled with the wavekin can cure various ailments.4964280FalseFalse31530TrueFalseFalse
7167A flat bottom-feeder commonly found in the frigid waters of the Bloodbrine Sea. It earns its name from its similarity in shape to the sole of a sandal. Fortunately, its flavor resembles nothing of its namesake.4892280FalseFalse01350TrueFalseFalse
7268A long, ugly freshwater eel found in nearly every river and lake in Eorzea. Its toothy grin is enough to frighten children across the realm. In Ul'dah, however, the fish is seen as a symbol of strength and dominance, and has long been a favorite amongst nobility and the wealthy classes.4965290FalseFalse21460TrueFalseFalse
7369This variety of freshwater fish has the queer habit of wearing the skulls of small drowned animals, though it is not known exactly why.

Others believe that they are messengers of Thal, beckoning lost souls to the afterlife.4966290FalseFalse21460TrueFalseFalse
7470A ravenous shark with a hammer-shaped head it uses to quickly detect its prey. This wavekin is most commonly found living in small schools in the Strait of Merlthor, but there have been recent reports of schools containing more than five score of the creatures.4893290FalseFalse11380TrueFalseFalse
7571This freshwater fish matures in the salty waters of the Bloodbrine Sea, only to return up the Yugr'am River where it was born to spawn. Many beastkin are known to prey on the salmon that return to the rivers weakened by their long journey inland.4967280FalseFalse21450TrueFalseFalse
7672A blue, spiny, sluglike creature found in the shallows off of Vylbrand, and considered a delicacy by Sea Wolves.4894300FalseFalse01370TrueFalseFalse
7773Tiny white spots cover the body of this rare freshwater fish. The spotted pleco's mouth has uniquely adapted to allow it to better feed on the algae growing on underwater rocks and boulders.4968300FalseFalse31520TrueFalseFalse
7874A rare type of luminescent moss found on the bottom of lakes and in caves. Slight currents cause the moss to form into a ball as it grows. They are often shunned by uneducated smallfolk who believe them to be water-breathing will-o'-the-wisps.5544310FalseFalse31350TrueFalseFalse
7975This blue-backed, white-bellied saltwater fish native to the Indigo Deep is known to migrate in large schools from north to south in the winter, and back again in the summer. So plentiful is this variety of wavekin, that almost a third of the Fishermen's Guild's entire take during a season is said to be Indigo herring.4895310FalseFalse01370TrueFalseFalse
8076As it has the tendency to coil up while inactive, this variety of freshwater eel is oft mistaken for lost boat rigging. Unlike most wavekin, the ropefish cannot survive underwater indefinitely, and must surface every several minutes to breathe.4969320FalseFalse31460TrueFalseFalse
8177A large saltwater fish known to migrate between the Sea of Jade and the Sea of Ash. In recent years, overfishing by boats from the Far East has led to a significant drop in their numbers.4896320FalseFalse11370TrueFalseFalse
8278A rare type of fish found in harsh environments, such as the stagnant rainwater ponds collecting in the basin of Empty Heart on the western finger of the Gods' Grip.4970320FalseFalse31350TrueFalseFalse

8480A small fish that is found only in Rootslake in the Black Shroud. Similar to mudskippers, which can also survive outside of water, root skippers can be seen sunbathing and feeding on the exposed roots of the wood's giant sentinels.4972330FalseFalse31530TrueFalseFalse
8581Though once found all across the five seas, seadragon numbers are now but a mere fraction of what they once were, due in part to Ishgardian culling parties.4897330FalseFalse01350TrueFalseFalse
8682A single flat tooth on the bottom of this ancient freshwater species' mouth gives the bonytongue its name. Primitive drawings of this selfsame fish have been discovered in caves only recently unearthed.4973340FalseFalse31530TrueFalseFalse
8783A tiny saltwater fish native to the waters of Vylbrand. Unlike other wavekin, they feed only at night, their activity increasing as Menphina waxes.4898340FalseFalse01370TrueTrueFalse
8884The claws of this freshwater crustacean are covered in myriad tiny bristles which provide the illusion that the crab is wearing mittens.4974340FalseFalse21370TrueFalseFalse
8985A tasty saltwater fish indigenous to the cold waters of the Bloodbrine Sea. Its name comes from a legendary northern king who was said to have survived to the ripe old age of seven and fifty summers eating only the fatty flesh of this grotesque wavekin.4899340FalseFalse11400TrueFalseFalse
9086A giant freshwater fish found in the tepid rivers and lakes of the Black Shroud. Gridanian records state that the first monke onke was brought to the Black Shroud by the realm's first Lalafellin settlers, the name monke onke meaning “friendship” in the settlers' native tongue.4975330FalseFalse21480TrueFalseFalse
9187The flesh of this freshwater trout native to central and northern Eorzea is a bright pink, leading to the common nickname, “cherry trout.” Seema are frightened by even the slightest change in water flow and temperature, making them extremely difficult to catch by those other than the most tenacious.4976350FalseFalse21550TrueFalseFalse
9288A bivalve mollusk found on the cliffs and rocks lining the Rhotano Sea. On rare occasions, sand will become trapped inside the shell and gradually form into a pearl. Enterprising Ul'dahn merchants have attempted numerous times, to no avail, to create pearls by introducing foreign objects to young shells with the hopes of harvesting treasure later on.4900350FalseFalse01370TrueFalseFalse
9389A tiny amphibious fish capable of breathing on land. This trait has allowed it to adapt to life in the deserts of Thanalan.4977350FalseFalse41460TrueFalseFalse
9490As are copperfish and goldfish, freshwater silverfish are prized amongst well-to-do Ul'dahns, and often kept as pets. Two score summers of crossbreeding were required to produce scales this lustrous.4978360FalseFalse31370TrueFalseFalse
9591Bright patterns, similar to a clown's motley, cover this small freshwater fish from head to tail.4979360FalseFalse31460TrueFalseFalse
9692A tiny sand-dwelling fish which can spend its whole life out of the water, gathering the moisture it needs to survive from the trace amount of dew which seeps through the desert sands each dawn. Though given the name bream by those living in the desert, this fish actually has no similarities to the bream found in the sea, other than its size.5032360FalseFalse41460TrueFalseFalse
9793A violet-hued fish found in the warmer waters of Eorzea's southern seas. It will attach itself to sharks or whales using suction cups growing from its underbelly, and feed on the scraps left by its host.4901360FalseFalse11370TrueFalseFalse
9894The rock-hard scales of the armored pleco are thought to protect the wavekin from injury when being dashed about swift-water rapids. It also prevents other predators from preying on it, allowing the fish to grow undisturbed, sometimes for decades.4980370FalseFalse31530TrueFalseFalse
9995Significantly larger than a dark bass, landing a giant bass can prove quite the challenge for even the most seasoned angler. Not known to feed on smaller worms or lures, fishers seeking to add this trophy to their cases will first need to catch a suitable bait.4981370FalseFalse31560TrueFalseFalse
10096A large variety of air-breathing catfish. Its near-frictionless scales allow it to swim through the sand as a normal fish would through the water. As it traverses the sands, it will swallow a great deal of the stuff, filling the creature's belly and making it appear much larger than it actually is.5033370FalseFalse41460TrueFalseFalse
10197A saltwater fish covered in scores of sharp spines, discouraging would-be predators from dining on this otherwise defenseless fry. Some fishers will also call them “sea bombs,” though none have ever been known to self-destruct.4902370FalseFalse01370TrueFalseFalse
10298This scarlet cousin to the maiden carp can most commonly be found in the Velodyna and Hathoeva rivers. A favorite amongst Wildwood and Duskwight Elezen─amazingly one of the few things the clans actually agree on.4982380FalseFalse21530TrueFalseFalse
10399A cousin of the sea-dwelling balloonfish, spotted puffers are unique in that they can survive in the brackish waters of deltas and river mouths.4983380FalseFalse21370TrueFalseFalse
104100When threatened, this sand-dwelling fish will beat the ground with its fins, kicking up a cloud of dust and allowing it the opportunity to escape unscathed.5034380FalseFalse41460TrueFalseFalse
105101Truly a prize, this bright-gold fish, though rare, can be found in rivers and lakes across Eorzea. Despite fishers believing otherwise, naturalists insist that the golden loach is not a separate species, but merely a normal loach born with a pigment deficiency in its scales.4984390FalseFalse31550TrueFalseFalse
106102These sand-dwelling fish will skip across the desert until they are fortunate enough to stumble across a sandstorm, in which case they will spread their fins and ride the storm great distances.5035390FalseFalse41460TrueFalseFalse
107103This freshwater eel native to the rivers and lakes of Thanalan will often display the unique trait of swapping its mate with other nearby eels when spawning. Because of this characteristic, the wavekin is oft used in religious ceremonies involving Nald'thal.4985390FalseFalse21450TrueTrueFalse
108104A red-scaled trout commonly found in the rivers originating on Abalathia's Spine. The color of its scales led past generations to believe that the wavekin fed on the blood of other fish. The theories of the current generation, however, are just as nonsensical, the most popular being that the crimson trout is a servant of Dalamud.4986400FalseFalse21550TrueFalseFalse
109105A colorful freshwater fish that can only survive in rivers located in more temperate climes. Though there is no proof, most believe that the fish was introduced to Eorzean waters by foreign traders from the south.4987400FalseFalse21370TrueFalseFalse
110106This sand-dwelling slug is able to maintain its mucous coating by absorbing the moisture from prey it catches at the bottom of conical pits not unlike the ones antlions are known to dig. A famous author once wrote a novel (that he claimed was based on fact) in which antlion slugs were actually intelligent rulers of an underground kingdom.5036400FalseFalse41460TrueFalseFalse
111107A piece of sharp coral, rarely found in any of Eorzea's five seas. The material is so rare, in fact, that it often fetches prices similar to those asked for garnets or rubies.5462400FalseFalse01380TrueFalseFalse
112108This species of trout was once only found in Vylbrand's Bronze Lake. Naturalists attribute the spread of the wavekin into nearby rivers and ponds to birds who will catch Bronze Lake trout from the eponymous lake, only to let the fish fall from their talons when carrying them back to their nests.4988410FalseFalse31390TrueFalseFalse
113109The fiery red shells of this freshwater snail, also known as “Ifrit's claws,” are prized by the Amalj'aa, and are useful when bartering with the beast tribe.4989410FalseFalse31560TrueFalseFalse

226222One dark torrential night, a lone fisher claims to have witnessed an uncommonly large raincaller splashing about the swollen Jadeite Flood in what appeared to be a piscine dance. So it was that the man named it the “stormdancer.”7713700TrueTrue31320TrueTrueTrue
227223Owing to an inexplicable phenomenon, the scales of this copperfish have taken on the lustrous sheen of a looking glass. The light that it reflects serves to blind nearby creatures, be they predators or rivals for food.7714700TrueTrue31400TrueFalseTrue
228224Cursed by the Twelve to live out its pitiful life as not only a fish, but a fish with a head resembling that of a right sotted Roegadyn, the cupfish chooses to dwell deep in underground caves, away from those who might heap the poor wavekin with unwarranted ridicule.7902800TrueTrue31350TrueTrueFalse

234230Despite being of a size comparable to a great river serpent, the Vip Viper has eluded fisherfolk for countless seasons. One theory as to why involves the many smaller black eels which follow the creature. It is believed that these “options” will nibble any suspicious fodder found floating in the water before allowing their master to feed.7908800TrueTrue21530TrueTrueFalse
235231This is not the greatest bream in the world; this is just a tribute. In the Far East, it is common custom that when an especially large bream is landed it be offered to the area's liege lord in thanks for allowing his waters to be fished. So as not to insult the lord, the catch is oft presented under the pretense that it is “greatest in the world.”7909800TrueTrue11370TrueTrueFalse
236232Whereas most herring have an expected lifespan of little more than twelve moons, this clever kipper has seen more than thrice that amount due to his ability to maneuver his way through schools so as to place himself far from danger, yet close to dinner.7910800TrueTrue11400TrueTrueFalse
237233Amalj'aa claim this plaguefish earned its grim headpiece after slaying a grown battle drake that came to water at Burnt Lizard Creek.

238234Instead of utilizing its inherent tendency to propel itself from the water and scale tiny waterfalls, this particular troublemaker will, for reasons unknown, leap forth only to strike at sylphs who have wandered too close to its home. To this date, however, the only injuries recorded as a result of the odd attacks have been to fragile egos.7912800TrueTrue21520TrueFalseTrue
239235While the ability to jump from the water to low-lying branches benefits the climbing perch by providing it with increased feeding options, it also puts it in danger of being carried off itself by a bird of prey. The floating boulder, however, has found that a steady diet of tree-dwelling insects makes it far too heavy to succumb to a predator's talons.7913800TrueTrue31530TrueTrueTrue

241237Upon witnessing this massive wavekin hungrily navigate the shallow waters beneath his privy, self-made entrepreneur Gegeruju (a man not particularly known for his talents in the field of christening), dubbed the creature “shark tuna,” inciting a flurry of wild applause from the old Lalafell's cadre of sycophants.7915800TrueTrue11370TrueTrueTrue
242238Carvings discovered on the walls of ruins dotting the outer La Noscean landscape suggest that a giant eel-like creature has been terrorizing the people of this land since the peak of the Nymian civilization.

243239Lominsan legend has that the pirate king Mistbeard bred this octopus to its enormous size by feeding it the corpses of his countless victims.

244240There is an age-old Lalafellin faerie tale which tells the story of a trader eel who swam so far upstream that he eventually arrived at the very gates of the goddess Azeyma's palace.

247243Unlike his brethren who, after hatching, navigate their way downstream in search of food, the Sinker instead chooses to remain near spawning grounds where he can feed alone without worry of rivals.

248244There is not a goblin fisher in all Eorzea who does not dream of one day landing the legendary don of the deep.

249245When attacked, this carnivorous amphibian will release an aromatic substance from its pores that either drives the would-be predator away in disgust, or tempts the creature to feed upon the newt.

252248By shunning its natural instinct to travel and feed in schools, this hammerhead shark can devour prey in its entirety, allowing for growth to a size heretofore unseen in its species.

263259Kobold legend tells of Thundergut─a mighty sculpin whose gluttony knows no bounds. He swallows the thunder from the clouds before it can manifest, and it is because of this insatiable greed that La Noscean storms are silent save for the falling of the rain.7937800TrueTrue21800TrueTrueTrue
264260The archerfish is already known for its uncanny ability to pick off targets from afar.

278274One might think that a body covered in glittering gold scales would make the imperial goldfish a prime target for larger predators such as the jungle catfish...and they would be absolutely correct.

297293Despite the fact rhamphorhynchus make no audible cries, they are known to form highly complex flocks when hunting.

319315When feeding, the skin surrounding the maw of this deadly freshwater carp unfolds in three separate locations, creating a massive sac from which prey are unable to escape. The only known predator of the wavekin is the even deadlier pipira pira.127291300FalseFalse23980TrueFalseFalse
320316So similar is a bullfrog's croak to the deep mating low of a wisent, that cows have been known to stumble into lakes at night. Though the perfect bait for mooching, these amphibious wavekin are also a delicacy amongst the Vanu tribes and often only served at guest-welcoming rituals.127301360FalseFalse33990TrueFalseFalse
321317The Vanu believe that these fish are born of the fine rainless clouds that fill the sky in the summer months. While living, their bodies remain translucent. When taken from the water, however, the translucence is lost and the cloudfish's skin turns pure white.127311300FalseFalse24000TrueFalseFalse
322318Mahu wai grow from the floating islands of Abalathia's Spine, releasing scores of thin transparent tendrils into the sky to catch their prey and haul it back to their giant maws. The word mahu wai means “bottomless greed” in the Vanu tongue.127321300FalseFalse64010TrueFalseFalse
323319Too small to warrant shucking, those who hunt the lands of Dravania instead prefer to use the mussels to make a flavorful broth which is added to other dishes.127331360FalseTrue33980TrueFalseFalse
324320Pride preventing them from using the widely accepted moniker, Eorzean naturalists have come up with a much more scholarly, if no more informative, alternative to “flying egg.” As to understanding what the buoyant oviform actually is, how it flies, and how it survives...very little progress has been made.127341330FalseFalse64010TrueFalseFalse
325321There is debate over whether this denizen of the Sea of Clouds is called a whiteloom or a whiteroom. Proponents of the former point to the spinning and weaving motions the creature makes when airborne. Proponents of the latter claim that one only need gaze upon the creature's fungus-like shape to realize that they have the right of it.127351300FalseFalse64010TrueFalseFalse
326322This blue variety of cloud coral is harvested in great numbers by the Vanu tribes of Abalathia and ground into a fine blue powder. The powder is mixed with spring water and spores of the morrowmote to create a thick paste which is generously applied to the beaks of shamans before rituals.127361330FalseTrue64010TrueFalseFalse
327323Spending most of their lives in near-freezing waters have lined the bodies of seema patricians with a thick layer of fatty tissue which is highly sought after by Ishgardian nobles who believe the foul-smelling oil to soften skin.127371300FalseFalse33970TrueFalseFalse
328324An inland cousin of the nautilus, the ammonite has developed a two-layered shell which it fills with water heated by its own body. This insulates the creature from the cold, allowing it to survive in the cold northern climes.127381330FalseFalse33970TrueFalseFalse
329325By separating its eyes from its head, the bubble eye goldfish is able to see in far more directions than other wavekin─a trait invaluable in waters where predators might approach from any direction.127391330FalseFalse24010TrueTrueFalse
330326As the name implies, grass carp dine solely on water grasses, shunning the carnivorous eating habits of their cousins for a healthier diet. Unfortunately, this diet gives the fish a very bitter flavor, making it unsuitable for consumption.127401300FalseFalse23980TrueFalseTrue
331327An exceptionally ravenous variety of pipira, the pipira pira have been known to bite clean through the ankles of chocobo herds fording rivers containing schools of the deadly wavekin.127411450FalseFalse23980TrueFalseTrue
332328A unique variety of brightly mottled catfish which swims upside down in order to confuse both prey and predators.127421330FalseFalse34000TrueTrueFalse
333329To the layman's eye, the repeated pressing of perpetually puckered mouths by two of these wavekin appears to be an act of affection, when in fact, it is heated territorial dispute.127431330FalseFalse24000TrueTrueFalse
334330Recently discovered and named by knights of House Haillenarte dispatched to explore the islets floating above Ishgard, the shells of these snail-like creatures bear a close resemblance with the holy mitre worn by the archbishop.127441330FalseFalse64010TrueFalseFalse
335331Only recently discovered, natural scholars are still at a loss as to how any creature, this crab included, can survive in scalding liquid rock. Tests conducted by the Thaumaturges' Guild have found that the hard carapace can withstand heat up to that generated by Fire IV.127451330FalseFalse73980TrueFalseFalse
336332Similar to glacier cores, but with an elemental aspect of lightning instead of ice, the Vanu Vanu have, for generations, captured storm cores and placed them in baskets to serve as lighting for their homes.127461330FalseFalse64010TrueFalseTrue
337333Before abandoning their city–state, the Sharlayans would utilize this sculpin's natural tendency to swim back and forth between two unchanging locations in search of prey to deliver messages up and down the Thaliak River.127471330FalseFalse33990TrueFalseFalse
338334A highly intelligent wavekin with an enormous appetite, the gigant grouper will repeatedly butt its head against the underside of a frozen lake, weakening the ice so that when a large creature such as a polar bear lumbers by, it will fall through, providing a hearty meal.127481360FalseFalse33970TrueFalseFalse
339335The first explorers of the floating Abalathian island mistook this fish with a massive lump upon its forehead to be a diving Vanu Vanu, hence the moniker. Interestingly enough, the Vanu Vanu call this fish “duku'moii,” which means “swimming bottom dweller.”127491360FalseFalse24010TrueFalseTrue
340336Marble oscars will often gather in water that has been clouded by spilled blood, leading the Gnath to believe the wavekin a loyal servant of the Lord of the Hive, Ravana.127501360FalseFalse33980TrueFalseFalse
341337Unlike gigantoads, newts, or nankas which, by exhibiting properties of both wave- and scalekin, are able to survive in and out of water, the lungfish is a rare example of a wavekin that, despite being void of scalekin properties, can still survive for extended periods on dry land─sometimes for several summers.127511800FalseFalse34020TrueFalseTrue
342338This violent freshwater fish was dubbed the tigerfish by a group of Auri travelers who claim the striped pattern on the wavekin's back resembles that of a Far Eastern beast known as a tiger.127521360FalseFalse33990TrueFalseFalse
343339While many an Ishgardian lay has been sung about the beauty of these ephemeral creatures, sky faeries are detested by the Vanu tribes of Abalathia who find them to be grotesque and misshapen monstrosities.127531300FalseFalse64010TrueFalseFalse
344340Granite crabs will not eat raw meat and have been witnessed drawing land-dwelling prey into magma before devouring it.127541360FalseFalse73980TrueFalseFalse
345341Believed by some to be the son of the legendary steed Aithon, this lava-dwelling creature's body is shielded by a layer of thick glass which aids its movement in the magma.127551360FalseFalse73980TrueFalseFalse
346342A shell-less bivalve mollusk notorious for boring into ship hulls. Despite the use of protective measures such as ironwood bug shoes or metal plating, the vermiform creatures will eventually find a way into any ship, slowly consuming it from the inside.127561360FalseFalse23990TrueFalseFalse
347343This tiny vilekin has the capacity to live on both land and in water, using its powerful barbed forelegs to both burrow and to swim. Its reproductive capacity is immense; however, since both fish and birds feed on the cricket, its population remains fairly controlled.127571300FalseFalse23990TrueFalseFalse
348344A distant cousin to the lamp marimo, moogles will avoid mogpoms at all costs, believing them to be the discarded poms of their fallen comrades.127581360FalseFalse34000TrueFalseFalse
349345While similar in appearance to coral, magma trees are actually giant colonies of tiny creatures encased in heat-resistant crystal which feed upon the essence of ore melted in the magma within which they reside.127591360FalseTrue73980TrueFalseFalse
350346Unlike their lower-altitude cousins the cloud cutters, cloud riders will not fly in straight trajectories, but rather skip across the tops of clouds, tapping into the clouds' wind-aspected aether to propel themselves through the skies.127601360FalseFalse64000TrueFalseFalse
351347Fishers who are brave enough to venture into the largely untouched areas west of Ishgard are rewarded with specimens like the Dravanian bass which are known to almost always put up a good fight.127611390FalseFalse23980TrueTrueTrue
352348An extremely rare form of freshwater puffer found only in the cold waters beyond the Coerthas lowlands.

353349The snowcaller will wait in the mud at the bottom of lakes until the water temperature drops, numbing the movement of those fish who are less tolerant to the cold. It is then that the snowcaller will rise from its warm bed and attack.127631360FalseFalse33970TrueFalseTrue
354350The dragonhead is one of many varieties of Eorzean fish that wear the skulls of small animals fallen into the water. The skulls are thought to not only frighten away predators, but also protect the head from potentially fatal bites.127641360FalseFalse23980TrueFalseFalse
355351The debate over whether the mercy staff feeds when it snows, or it snows when the mercy staff feeds, was seemingly put to an end when reports emerged of a Coerthan fisher catching three of the wavekin under fair skies, only to be buried in a snowstorm on his way home.127651360FalseFalse23970TrueFalseTrue
356352In Coerthas it is five winters' bad luck to slay a rime eater, for the creatures feed on the glacier cores that the smallfolk believe to be the cause of snowstorms.127661360FalseFalse53970TrueFalseTrue
357353This breed of ancient wavekin is covered in brilliant diamond-shaped scales that blind potential predators. Bichirs feed solely on water-skipping vilekin, making them much hated by the Gnath, who will spear them merely out of spite and leave the corpses to rot in the water.127671390FalseFalse33980TrueTrueFalse
358354No more than a marble oscar lacking pigment, noontide oscars are rare finds simply for the fact that they are unable to blend in with their surroundings, making them more visible to predators. There are those, however, who claim the bone white wavekin possess special powers, making them highly sought after by witches and medicine men.127681390FalseFalse34000TrueFalseFalse
359355One cannot visit a tavern in all of Coerthas without hearing tall tales of the great man-eating shadowhisker. In one village, the fish will be five yalms long, in another, five wide.

The gobbie mask or <Emphasis>the</Emphasis> gobbie mask?”127701390FalseFalse64000TrueFalseFalse
361357Its name taken from the serpent-haired seductress of ancient legend, the blue medusa is an anemone-like creature which survives on the underbellies of Abalathia's floating islets. Its tentacles are covered in poisonous barbs which petrify prey, making it easier to seize, devour, and digest.127711390FalseFalse64000TrueFalseFalse
362358The metallic scales covering this lava-dwelling snail closely resemble those of the deep-sea snail known as the armorer, leading naturalists to hypothesize that at one time, sea levels were much higher, and that when the waters receded, snails left atop mountains began evolving separately.127721390FalseTrue73980TrueFalseFalse
363359The violent flagellating motion of this snakelike creature's tail is most likely a means to detect nearby obstacles, as its eyes have regressed into naught more than skin-covered pits on the sides of its head.127731390FalseFalse84020TrueFalseFalse
364360Naturalists who have had the opportunity to examine the rare samples brought back from Azys Lla have come to the tentative conclusion that despite being several times smaller, a completely different color, and bearing strange whisker-like fins, this amphibious creature is most likely a distant relative to the axolotls that reside in lower Eorzea.127741500FalseFalse34020TrueTrueFalse
365361Writings extracted from recently discovered tomestones state that this particular breed of helmet crab was biologically altered by Allagans to produce an impenetrable shell that could be harvested for armor production.127751390FalseFalse84020TrueFalseFalse
366362Believed to be a cousin of the goldfish, the platinum fish has fully adapted to life in the corrupted waters of Azys Lla's aetherochemical pools and now requires the aetherially charged liquid to survive. The dazzling sheen of its scales does not appear to be hereditary, however, and rather a result of an aetherochemical reaction caused by the pools.127761390FalseFalse84020TrueFalseFalse
367363Due to its lack of eyes, it was once thought this fish hunted like a bat, using sound to navigate the pools in which it lives. However, the popular theory amongst naturalists now is that it instead utilizes a strange organ on its head to detect concentrations of aether.127771390FalseFalse24020TrueFalseFalse
368364A fish so filled with poison that it will seep from the wavekin's body, fouling the waters in which it swims. The Azysfish will feed on the corpses of those creatures who fall victim to the deadly venom.127781390FalseFalse84020TrueFalseFalse
369365Unlike glass perch which all have transparent appendages, fin transparency of crystalfins varies depending on the type of aether concentrated within the fish. Diet, habitat, even weather can change the outward appearance of crystalfins, which is why for so long it was believed that there were as many as six different species.127791450FalseFalse24020TrueFalseFalse
370366Why the Sharlayan called the sweetfish by that name is unknown, as the fish is in no way sweet, whether eaten raw or cooked. They are, however, delicious─a trait that has resulted in overfishing. Large fish introduced into Dravanian waters by goblins have also contributed to the dwindling population of sweetfish.127801360FalseFalse23990TrueFalseFalse
371367Native to the lakes of the Orn Wild, the Sharlayans brought scores of the billowy-finned wavekin down from the north to populate their ornamental fountains. When the Sharlayans returned to their homeland, most were left to die...but nature had other plans.127811420FalseFalse33990TrueFalseFalse
372368A circular mane consisting of several tiny fins sprouts from the head of this rare wavekin. For reasons known only to themselves, moogles detest the hundred fin, believing it to be an augur of death, destruction, and mayhem of the most unplayful variety.127821420FalseFalse34000TrueFalseFalse
373369This fish uses its uncanny resemblance to a reddened leaf to hide amongst fallen detritus and wait for unsuspecting prey to approach. As this hunting technique is only effective for a two-moon period of the twelvemoon, the wavekin will gorge itself while it can, and then lie dormant until the next autumn calls.127831420FalseFalse33990TrueFalseFalse
374370Manasails achieve flight by spreading their elastic fins like sails of a ship to gather wind-aspected aether from the clouds. Most spend their lives atop thermals rising high above floating islets of Abalathia and Dravania, and are rarely seen by even the denizens of those skyey regions.127841390FalseFalse64000TrueTrueTrue
375371Sky sweepers are one of the few creatures living in the Sea of Clouds that do not actually have the capability of flight. These shark-like beings are spawned on the backs of larger flying fish, where they spend their entire lives feeding on vilekin and sloughed-off skin.127851420FalseFalse64010TrueFalseFalse
376372As does its cousin the aetherlouse, the magma louse also feeds on minute traces of aether bled from wounds in Hydaelyn's crust, the most common aspects being fire and earth.127861420FalseFalse73980TrueTrueFalse
377373While it is rumored this tortoise's shell is so hard that it can withstand the impact of a comet, the wavekin's name is derived from the creature's natural tendency to remain motionless for up to several moons to conserve energy when forage is scarce.127871420FalseFalse73980TrueFalseFalse
378374Unlike anything else on Eorzea, compound #123 is thought to be another of the Allagan Empire's failed chimerical creations. The creature seems to be harmless enough, feeding only on the tiny water lice which inhabit Azys Lla's aetherochemical pools. Its outer hide, however, has given many a naturalist pause as it bears a texture almost identical to that of a Lalafell's skin.127881420FalseFalse84020TrueFalseFalse
379375For most of the sun's turn, the brown bolo will hang stationary from the bottoms of the Churning Mists' floating landmasses. When prey flies or floats by, however, the bolo will throw itself from the crags and wrap around the unsuspecting victim, choking it into submission before propelling itself back to the crag face to feed.127891420FalseFalse64000TrueFalseTrue
380376This pink-shelled mollusk earned its playful moniker when a group of alchemy students attending one of Sharlayan's academies submitted several of the wavekin for their graduation projects after spending several moons drinking and whoring on Ul'dah's Pearl Lane.127901420FalseFalse23990TrueFalseFalse
381377Massive lungs and a siphon-like mouth combine to create a powerful jet that the fountfish can use to propel pressurized water at targets on land or in the air. While the water cannot penetrate deep enough to kill an animal, it will breach the skin, causing a target to bleed. It is this blood upon which the fountfish survives.127911450FalseFalse34020TrueFalseFalse
382378Despite the abundance of other, easier-to-land wavekin in Dravanian waters, Weston bowfin are actively sought by moogle anglers─not for the fish themselves, but for the bright-red eggs which remind the moogles of their pom-poms.127921450FalseFalse34000TrueTrueFalse
383379Legend states that letter puffers were once so abundant in the skies above Dravania that clouds of the creatures would blot out the sun. Rampant hunting to collect the volatile gas contained within their bellies drove the puffers to near extinction, and only recently have their numbers begun to grow.127931450FalseFalse64000TrueFalseFalse
384380The only method currently known of distinguishing between a star and a sky faerie is by observing the color of their abdomens. Claims that the star faerie has the flavor of rolanberries have been attributed to a psychological phenomenon that compels individuals to think that something red will taste like something similarly colored.127941450FalseFalse54000TrueFalseFalse
385381Another colored variety of cloud coral found growing on the floating islands above Eorzea, gloaming coral's deep red is a favorite of moogle artists who grind the creature's exoskeleton into a red pigment that can be used in painting rocks.127951450FalseTrue64000TrueFalseFalse
386382These freshwater octopodes feed mainly on the shellfish residing on the beds of glacial lakes. However, when food is scarce, they will leave the water to dig for clams on the frozen shores. This, unfortunately, makes them easy targets for yetis who will dash the octopodes on rocks and then swallow them whole.127961450FalseFalse33970TrueTrueFalse
387383Sight of this dragon-like creature has sent many an alarum ringing, watch-moogles mistaking them for Horde scouts...which normally would be unthinkable, as dragon's souls average only a few ilms in length.127971450FalseFalse64000TrueFalseFalse
388384It has recently been suggested that many of Eorzea's sudden and unexplained wind-aspected aetherial disturbances are not natural occurrences, but actually flying sharks with the capacity of manipulating aether. Enough said.127981800FalseFalse64010TrueFalseFalse
389385This jellyfish's striking resemblance to an Ixali war balloon suggests that inspiration for the beast tribe's dirigibles came upon witnessing the wavekin floating hither and thither about the heavens.127991450FalseFalse53970TrueFalseTrue
390386In order to survive the extreme temperatures that would render a normal fish to cinders, the fossiltongue has developed a thick layer of stone scales that cover the wavekin's entire body, including its eyes. To locate its prey, it swims with its fossil-like tongue jut out constantly before it, taking in anything it touches, regardless of whether it is edible or not.128001450FalseFalse73980TrueFalseFalse
391387A strange fish that bears an eerie resemblance to the sea-dwelling hropken. Judging from the extensive cloning experiments conducted by the Allagans during their Third Astral Era reign, it is entirely feasible that hropkens were an Allagan creation and that this fish represents one of the ungodly stages of hropken development.128011450FalseFalse84020TrueFalseFalse
392388This snap-jawed scalekin sits atop of the aquatic food chain, feeding on whatever (or whomever!?) crosses his path. The caiman fears no retribution, for there is none who might topple him from his lofty throne. None, that is, of course, except dragons, for even a king must learn to bow his head to the gods.128021450FalseFalse23980TrueTrueFalse
393389A variety of pirarucu specially bred by the Allagans for mass consumption. Characteristics include a natural tendency to remain near the water's surface (to allow for quick retrieval), heightened reproductivity, rapid maturation, nutrient-rich flesh, and an easily removable skeleton (for efficient deboning).128031800FalseFalse34020TrueTrueTrue
394390Selective breeding by the goblin scholars known as the Illuminati has created a new variety of perch so foul smelling that only someone wearing a specially crafted gas mask (conveniently such as a gobbie mask) might withstand the noxious vapors long enough to enjoy the rich, buttery flesh.128041450FalseFalse23990TrueFalseFalse
395391Blindingly fast and possessing almost inexhaustible stamina, the rudderfish is a favorite tool for mother dragons teaching their pups to hunt in the air.128051450FalseFalse64000TrueFalseFalse
396392Floating like mines in the skies above Azys Lla, bomb puffers will literally explode when set upon by predators, sacrificing their lives to impale their assailants with countless deadly spines. However, the sacrifice is not without purpose. Within those spines are scores of tiny eggs which hatch within the body of the poisoned corpse, and feed on its flesh until old enough to emerge and fly away.128061480FalseFalse64020TrueFalseFalse
397393Unlike the case with other fish living in Azys Lla's aetherochemical sludge, the mucous minnow will perish if exposed to the liquid for even a short period of time. Luckily for this wavekin, it is born covered in a viscous transparent barrier which not only protects the minnow, but also acts as a filter, allowing the wavekin to absorb waterborne algae.128071450FalseFalse84020TrueFalseFalse
398394Also known as a UFB, the numerous attempts to identify this hovering clam have all been unsuccessful, the worst case resulting in a septuagenarian scholar falling several thousand yalms from a floating islet onto a highland haycock. Most of the hay was salvaged from the accident. The scholar was not.128081500FalseFalse64020TrueFalseFalse
399395Found only in warm waters, this tiny fish feeds mainly on algae and other aquatic flora. In extreme cases, however, the wavekin will eat the dead skin off of animals wading in their habitat. Ishgardian chirurgeons have been known to use this survival trait to their advantage, applying the fish to festering wounds so that they may devour the corrupted flesh.128091450FalseFalse33970TrueFalseFalse
400396The scorpionfly exhibits the peculiar habit of flying its prey to an islet different from the one upon which it subdues its meal. Naturalists guess that this may be done to keep future prey unaware of the threat the scorpionfly poses, making it easier to return to the islet at a later date and hunt with relative ease.128101450FalseFalse64010TrueFalseFalse
401397The rockclimber uses a suction cup on its underbelly to climb up rocks. Once in position, it will wait until an insect flies by, and then leap into the air, catch the morsel in its mouth and land safely back in the water.128111450FalseFalse34020TrueFalseFalse
402398Blood skippers will use a set of highly developed pelvic fins to periodically “walk” forth from their pools in search of new homes. Such a journey from the water's protective depths would normally leave a creature exposed to land-dwelling predators. Fortunately for the blood skipper, the extreme toxicity of its flesh discourages all but the most hungry.128121450FalseFalse84020TrueFalseTrue
403399Measuring up to several yalms long, the cobrafish's dorsal fin is covered in thousands of hair-like feelers which are thought to absorb airborne concentrations of wind-aspected aether. The collected energy is then distributed evenly throughout the body to create a temporary state of weightlessness which enables flight via the “flapping” of the pectoral and pelvic fins.128131480FalseFalse64000TrueFalseFalse
404400So silent are these cousins of the flying manta, that the Vanu Vanu believe them to be the embodied spirits of the legendary moogles who, many generations past, once flourished in the Sea of Clouds.128141480FalseFalse64010TrueFalseFalse
405401When assaulted by a predator, the oil eel will release copious amounts of a slick, mucus-like substance that prevents adequate purchase, allowing the wavekin to escape.

407403With fins like billowing sails and a mouth like an armored ramming prow, this large freshwater fish not only has the appearance of a Lominsan battle galley, but also the strength─repeatedly butting larger prey until stunned and susceptible to attack.128171480FalseFalse23970TrueFalseFalse
408404From claw to tail, the length of this freshwater crustacean often exceeds a full yalm when fully grown. While not as succulent as the meat from smaller lobsters, a single tail can feed a Lalafellin family of seven or a single Roegadyn adolescent.128181480FalseFalse33990TrueFalseFalse

410406An ancient tome on culinary legend kept on display at the Bismarck tells the story of a man who climbed the highest peak in Abalathia's Spine to catch the mythical catfish which swim the red-hot blood of Hydaelyn Herself. Upon drawing the fish from the lake of lava, he found the fish was already cooked, and proceeded to devour it, for the journey into the heart of the mountain had left him famished.128201480FalseFalse73980TrueFalseFalse
411407If sketches in ancient bestiaries are to be believed, this scalekin has changed very little over the past several millennia, leading some to believe that it is of the same blood as the dragons. This has, however, been disproven, the flying lizards possessing about as much intelligence as the average ninki nanka.128211450FalseFalse64000TrueTrueFalse

415411This rare tortoise's ability of flight is granted by its fabulous shell made up of solid wind crystal.

416412Similar to how the sorcerer fish is able to manipulate its body's fire-aspected aether, the black magefish is able to tap into the ice-aspected aether contained in its phlegmatic humours to perpetually cool its body, allowing it to survive in otherwise deadly molten lava.128261500FalseFalse73980TrueFalseFalse
417413The braincase of this dome-headed fish is, unlike the rest of its body, completely transparent and filled with a gel-like substance in which the eyes float.

418414While able to generate an electric charge with its body, this wavekin does not utilize that charge to subdue its prey, but rather locate it by detecting how the electric waves change after being released. Once the eel has determined where its prey is, it will wrap itself about the creature and strangle it.128281500FalseFalse23980TrueTrueFalse
419415The catkiller is a freshwater pike which uses its long, whip-like dorsal fin to impale gaelicats who fly too close to the water's surface. Formerly called a “gaelicatkiller,” the amalgamation of three different words into one was deemed by naturalist circles far too difficult to read and subsequently shortened to its current (albeit equally unceremonious) moniker.128291500FalseFalse34010TrueFalseTrue
420416This colossal wavekin is, in fact, little more than a common bonytongue that has grown to an enormous size in the relatively safe waters of the Dravanian hinterlands. This phenomenon, however, has allowed scholars to form a correlation between the size of a bonytongue and the softness of its tongue.128301800FalseFalse33992501TrueTrueFalse
421417Whereas most of the known world shies away from the fetid odor emitted by Illuminati perch, the Thaliak caiman seems drawn to it, refusing to eat any other manner of flesh if a perch is detected in the vicinity. This eating habit has made the scalekin a target of Illuminati fishers, who will employ heavy crossbows in an attempt to protect the fish (that they eventually plan on catching and eating themselves).128311500FalseFalse23990TrueTrueFalse
422418Even with several live specimens having been caught and returned to Ul'dah for further study, many naturalists still deny the existence of magma-dwelling fish such as the lavalord, and dismiss the finding of their peers as lies concocted to gain fame.128321800FalseFalse73982501TrueTrueTrue
423419All existing samples of the tupuxuara─an ancient breed of wyvern─have been discovered in the Aetherochemical Research Facility on Azys Lla.

425421Inside the storm chaser's belly lives a unique type of yeast which breaks down food to create a lighter-than-air gas which allows the fish to float. Short bursts of this gas from its rectum are used for propulsion. Yes, you read that correctly.128351800FalseFalse64000TrueFalseFalse
426422Sharlayan scholars deemed the berserker betta to be one of the most violent breeds of the already infamously violent family of betta. Despite having little to no chance of subduing a target, berserker betta will repeatedly attack fish three to four times larger than itself. This natural-born stubbornness has ensured the berserker population remains relatively small.128361800FalseFalse23992501TrueFalseTrue
427423During spawning season, a female capelin's belly will be so full of eggs that the fish will almost double in size, making the wavekin a favorite amongst egg-loving Qiqirn.128371800FalseFalse33972500TrueTrueFalse

435431The deep orange patterns on this wavekin's skin are similar to those found on several varieties of highly poisonous mushrooms. This convenient trait helps protect the salamander from hungry predators despite not possessing any toxins in its body...and being quite delicious. The amber salamander, himself, is aware of this fact, and will sometimes resort to cannibalism when other food is scarce. 142111800FalseFalse23982501TrueTrueFalse
436432The gnomefish is a gruesome creature that lives most of its life cowering beneath boulders in still or slow-moving waters so as to avoid being devoured by other larger fish.

438434The function of the enlarged comb which protrudes from the center of the nyctosaur's head has yet to be determined by the realm's naturalists, with some scholars believing it stores water, much like a dromedary's hump, while other believe it to be a hollow chamber which serves to deepen and amplify mating calls.142141800FalseFalse64002501TrueFalseFalse

446442One morning, while on patrol, a knight hailing from Falcon's Nest spied the fallen corpse of a yeti near one of Dragonspit's bubbling pools.

457453Unlike euphotic pirarucu which remain near the surface, these wavekin, for some reason, chose to ignore their species' natural attraction to the light and instead remain and feed on the sediment that collects in deep water.

474470Already in shock from the discovery of a freshwater pike that consumes gaelicats, the scientific community was far from prepared for the subsequent discovery of a pike that prefers paissa.

731727A wavekin whose scales form a mottled pattern like the skin of a snake. The size of the spots hardly changes from fryhood to adulthood, rather increasing in number as it grows. The pattern protects the fish from dunderheaded predators, who mistake this small, round, flat fish for a dangerous constrictor.274353500FalseFalse38130TrueFalseFalse
732728A surfeit of aether in its home waters has blanched this crab of all color. However, it takes on a bright, scarlet hue when blanched in boiling water. This sudden and surprising transformation is enough to make one blanch.274343500FalseFalse38130TrueFalseFalse
733729The emerald hue and peacock pattern of this flatfish is reminiscent of the fans favored by the nobles of Eulmore. Many of those refused entry to the city dream of exchanging the two, so that the pampered peers take a wet fish to the face.274433500FalseFalse28140TrueFalseFalse
734730A fish with the whiskers of a cat, and the black and white stripes of the mythical zebra. Not to be confused with the apocryphal cat zebrafish, which has the calico coloration of a fat cat, and hooves.274443500FalseFalse28140TrueFalseFalse
735731The name of this wavekin calls to mind the underside of a shoe, whose once-polished leather has turned dull and grey from overuse. Some would use the same simile to describe both the appearance and taste of its cured and dried flesh─a delicacy in Kholusia.274453500FalseFalse38140TrueFalseFalse
736732Every part of this marine mollusk can be eaten, from the sharp point of the hood that earns it its name, to the ink that flows forth when it is angered. Soldiers of the Eulmoran Army are known to devour a squid in its entirety before battle, believing it lends them martial might.274573500FalseFalse08140TrueFalseFalse
737733This eight-armed marine mollusk is able to disguise itself as almost anything else—from starfish, to seaweed, to other fish. But only an object of equal size. And it cannot form complex machines. Guns and explosives have chemicals, moving parts. It doesn't work that way.274523700FalseFalse08140TrueFalseFalse
738734Only male Kholusian wrasse have the characteristic lump on their foreheads—and yet every one plucked from the waves has this lump. How so? Are the males less intelligent, falling for the fisher's tricks more easily? Or are they braver, selflessly throwing themselves on the hook? No. Every wrasse is born female, before changing genders in later life.274543500FalseFalse08140TrueFalseFalse
739735A wavekin with a body as sleek and sharp as a barber's blade. While they are able to swim facing forwards, razorfish are wont to keep their eyes fixed on the sea floor, as if afraid to make eye contact with more sociable swimmers.274503500FalseFalse08140TrueFalseFalse
740736A frond-finned creature named for its resemblance to the sunny-hued leaves of the shellfracture kelp, not for its puniness. Although, in a fight between a weedy seadragon and a strip of seaweed, a wise man might bet on the latter.274553500FalseFalse08140TrueFalseFalse
741737These creatures normally lurk beneath the surface of the sand with only their eyes protruding, but when prey approach they burst forth, bludgeoning their victims with bulky claws before slinking back to the shadows.274583500FalseFalse48150TrueFalseFalse
742738Because they spend most of their lives under the scorching sand, desert dustfish have evolved to store large quantities of water within their bodies. For travelers lost in arid climes, these creatures are like life-saving oases, but in fish form.274593500FalseFalse48150TrueFalseFalse
743739Bloodsucking beasts who sup from the veins of travelers who stray into their territory. Their bodies darken the more they drink, with the greediest guzzlers taking on a scarlet hue. There's an old phrase in desert-trekking circles—if you see red, run.274633500FalseFalse48150TrueFalseFalse
744740These catfish swim in the waters around the Wandering Stairs, their fins sloshing sleepily around the pub's sleepy, sloshed patrons. And like those same patrons, they survive almost entirely on bar snacks.274163550FalseFalse38190TrueFalseFalse
745741With the exception of its skeleton, this fish's body is almost completely transparent. Unscrupulous traders in exotic wavekin will sometimes attempt to pass off the rehydrated remains of their supper as one of these, so buyers beware.274183550FalseFalse38190TrueFalseFalse
746742This ocean arachnid is almost all legs. While the realm's dwarves turn green with jealousy, the spider prefers to adopt an eye-catching red hue, making it a prized specimen in the aquariums of Eulmoran collectors.274213550FalseFalse18200TrueFalseFalse
747743One of the largest of the ancient order of armor-plated fish, the vicejaw's aggression and hardheadedness reminds many of Lord Vauthry. And like Lord Vauthry, it terrorizes its neighbors—those neighbors being its fellow fish.274373800FalseFalse38130TrueFalseFalse
748744Named for its pale white hue and rich, buttery flavor, the creamy oyster is more than a mere delicacy—the curators of the Cabinet of Curiosity have discovered they have curative properties too, being particularly effective against unwelcome eating habits.267473550FalseFalse08140TrueFalseFalse
749745“The captain, he caught me in bed with his bride, and threw my best lute o'er the galleon's side. I followed it over—to catch it I wished, but all that I caught was a lute-shapen fish. Yes I tickled his wife, then I tickled a fish.” - The Ballad of the Minstrelfish.274533800FalseFalse08140TrueFalseFalse
750746The large horn that protrudes from this wavekin's head is in fact a modified dorsal fin, adapted for swimming through sand. In the areas around its nesting grounds, rulers with oft be anointed with a crown of these horns, due to the strength they represent.274603550FalseFalse48150TrueFalseFalse
751747A scalekin that is specially adapted for traversing over sand. The membranes between its toes prevent it from sinking into even the softest sand. They also make the creature a strong swimmer, although it gets little practice in its desert home.274613550FalseFalse48150TrueFalseFalse
752748The grey skipper provides a rare drop of shade in the Kingdom of Rainbows. It has its origins in the Kingdom of Voeburt and remains staunchly loyal to its former masters, refusing to engage in any way with the pixies' magicks.274703550FalseFalse28160TrueFalseFalse
753749Legend has it that this wavekin is descended from a drop of blue sky that fell from the heavens before they were filled with all-encompassing light. The black star shape around its eye isn't accounted for.274793550FalseFalse28160TrueFalseFalse
754750Nu Mou chroniclers tell that there was once a pixie who wished to swim like a fish. They muttered a magic word to transform themself into a freshwater wavekin, and frolicked in the water. But when they went to reverse the spell, they found that their mouth produced no sound—only bubbles.274713550FalseFalse38160TrueFalseFalse
755751This motley wavekin is preferred by the Fuath to serve as the ball in several of their underwater sports, thanks to its peaceable nature and nigh on spherical body. The fish itself has never been asked its preference.274693550FalseFalse28160TrueFalseFalse
756752The eggs this wavekin lays are almost indistinguishable from glacé cherries, making them highly prized by the pixies, fond as they are of practical jokes.274733550FalseFalse28160TrueFalseFalse
757753This wavekin is highly prized for its beauty among Eulmoran nobles. Such is its popularity, several of the high houses are known to have bonded able fishers to their employ, for the sole purpose of keeping their butterfly stocks maintained.274233700FalseFalse18200TrueFalseFalse
758754There was once a blacksmith who forged for the high houses of Eulmore. Unlike his steel, the man was quick to temper. None know for certain what drove him to murder his masters, but he and his bloody hammer were thrown into the ocean, to be reborn as this very wavekin.274243700FalseFalse18200TrueFalseFalse
759755These frogs are fawned over by the Fuath, who think of them as adorable infants. Some are even known to craft miniature top hats for their unwitting charges.274723700FalseFalse28160TrueFalseFalse
760756This freshwater fish's translucent fins flutter like a butterfly as it swims, while its golden scales shine like a suit of polished mail. If the butterflies were ever to don armor and take up arms against the adventuring races, their swarms might overpower us all.274683700FalseFalse28160TrueFalseFalse
761757This citrus-skinned pufferfish produces an acidic poison from an internal gland, from which a delicious-yet-deadly dressing can be prepared. Should the pixies present you with a suspiciously sour salad, you would be wise to feign fullness.274753700FalseFalse38160TrueFalseFalse
762758A wavekin that likes to swim against the stream. When kept in a wood-paneled aquarium, it prefers to position itself against the grain. No one is sure as to the cause of this unusual behavior—perhaps there isn't one.274763700FalseFalse38160TrueFalseFalse
763759Named not for habitat, but for its rough and rambunctious behavior, the fun-loving Fuath have made a sport of teasing the wild red betta, tugging at its fins before fleeing from the ensuing maelstrom of rage.274773700FalseFalse38160TrueFalseFalse
764760Prized as a status symbol by the noble families of Eulmore, who will often dispatch bonded servants to Il Mheg in search of a shiny prize. Alas, the fae folk have other ideas, more often than not transforming the trespassing lobster hunters into leafmen.274803700FalseFalse28160TrueFalseFalse
765761A small crustacean named for its oversized left pincer, which lends it the appearance of an archer holding a greatbow. As one might expect, the crab is unable to shoot arrows from its arms—only dirty looks from its beady eyes.274823700FalseFalse38170TrueFalseFalse
766762The yellow pipira appears a docile creature, drifting leisurely in warm waters. However, its teeth are coated with a paralyzing toxin, with which it immobilizes its prey before eating them alive. Appearances can be deceptive.274863700FalseFalse38170TrueFalseFalse
767763This wavekin resides in the waters of Woven Oath, and would be utterly unremarkable were it not for the role it plays in the rites of the Children of the Everlasting Dark, who burn it black over a bonfire before consuming the ashen remains.274873700FalseFalse38170TrueFalseFalse
768764These clams, whose inner nacre can be polished to a mirror sheen, were common throughout the Kingdom of Voeburt. Looking glasses crafted from their shells were fashionable with the ladies of the Voeburtite court before its fall.267483800FalseFalse28160TrueFalseFalse
769765This wavekin has a characteristic white hood resembling the headdresses worn by women of a certain religious order. Rumor has it that wimple carp are actually white all over—their black stripes are merely the inky scrawls of tricksy pixies.274743800FalseFalse38160TrueFalseFalse
770766Some of the First have jokingly nicknamed them the “Ronso of the Water” for their brown spotted scales, reminiscent of the pattern adorning certain Ronso's coats─if one squints.274783800FalseFalse28160TrueFalseFalse
771767These freshwater wavekin embark on great migrations around the waterways of Norvrandt, only returning to the Greatwood to spawn. Their ascent of the mighty falls of Lozatl's Conquest is one of the wonders of fishkind.274893800FalseFalse28170TrueFalseFalse
772768These dark-skinned eels spend much of their lives lurking in shadowy shallows, disguising themselves as roots of the black-boughed trees of the Greatwood. The Children of the Everlasting Dark think very highly of them.274853800FalseFalse38170TrueFalseFalse
773769Introduced to the Greatwood to provide sustenance for the colonies of the Night's Blessed, this is a fecund and fast-growing fish. However, some argue that the bass's proliferation risks unbalancing the river's delicate ecosystem.274883800FalseFalse28170TrueFalseFalse
774770According to popular belief, this crab climbs trees and steals fruit from their branches, but this is naught but a tall tale. In truth, it is an omnivorous scavenger, feeding on fallen fruit and carrion alike.274843800FalseFalse38170TrueFalseFalse
775771With its burly body and claws covered in bristly hairs that resemble the work mitts worn by miners, this crustacean became something of a symbol of pride to the pitmen of Garik, before they all moved away.274653900FalseFalse48150TrueFalseFalse
776772A wavekin whose scales are striped with two subdued hues—grey and dark grey. Its fry emerge from their eggs a gaudy orange color before their scales darken with age, along with their outlooks on life.274903900FalseFalse38170TrueFalseFalse
777773In ancient Ronka, the eryops was revered as a sacred animal, believing it to be the bringer of prosperity to one's children. Those whose offspring have been bitten by these beasts for the crime of swimming in their waters may beg to differ.274913900FalseFalse38170TrueFalseFalse
778774A silvery cousin of the yellow pipira, this fish's brightly shining scales have earned it the enmity of the Children of the Everlasting Dark. But no matter how many the Children lift from the lakes, they cannot seem to eliminate them entirely.274923900FalseFalse38170TrueTrueFalse
779775Though it appears to be a gentle giant, this cousin of the salmon has a voracious appetite for the flesh of other fish, swallowing other wavekin whole—sometimes even those approaching its own size.274414000FalseFalse28140TrueFalseFalse
780776An airborne ray that glides through the valleys of the Hills of Amber. Before the empire's decline, the nobles of Nabaath would hunt these creatures for sport, mounting them on their walls with winglike fins outspread, as if still in flight.274664000FalseFalse48150TrueFalseFalse
781777A small, silvery fish with feline whiskers that is oft seen basking on the riverbed like a cat resting in the sun. It is possessed of catlike reflexes too, pouncing on passing prey.274934000FalseFalse28170TrueFalseFalse
782778The sorcerer priests of ancient Ronka would divine the size of the fishing harvest for that year by examining the pattern of black spots along this wavekin's length. Whether or not they were able to do this with any accuracy is unproven.274834000FalseFalse28170TrueFalseFalse
783779The flesh of this migratory wavekin is a staple food of the Ondo. Stormfish travel in schools many thousands strong, and when they swarm in circles, they can create great whirlpools upon the surface of the sea. Superstitious sailors refuse to sup upon their meat.274974000FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
784780The iridescent sheen of the sycorax's shell is the result of the aether incorporated into its shell. This crystallized magick is also the source of its unusual name, which is that of a witch of legend, or so the scholars believe.274964000FalseTrue18180TrueFalseFalse
785781This wavekin's bloated belly and long tail lend it the silhouette of a hand axe, leading the metal-smelting dwarves of Kholusia to venerate it as a guardian spirit of the toolcrafting industry.274424100FalseFalse28140TrueFalseFalse
786782Swimming through the golden sands of Amh Araeng, this fish's camouflaged coloration provides protection against predators. To defend against the desert heat, it deposits a thick layer of fat beneath its skin, making its steaks something of a delicacy.267494100FalseFalse48150TrueFalseFalse
787783The eight jagged spines along its back help this creature to cut through the sand as it swims. It also uses them as a weapon, slicing open the bellies of oversized prey before eating them from the inside out.274644100FalseFalse48150TrueFalseFalse
788784The fang-like serrations along its shell lend this mollusk a menacing appearance, but it is in fact a filter feeder whose jaws close but sluggishly. Not to say that a man-eater clam could not do the deed, just that said man would have to be deep in his cups at the time.275114100FalseTrue18180TrueFalseFalse
789785This bivalve's shell resembles nothing more than a chunk of solid slate, but split it open, and a sweet, meaty morsel awaits within. A welcome discovery to all, with the possible exception of roofers with sated stomachs.275134200FalseTrue18180TrueFalseFalse
790786Though physically similar to the spiders who walk on land, this creature is of an entirely unrelated order.

791787Violet-colored coral that blooms only in the bathyal depths. An ancient prophecy dictates that any pieces found on the shore should be offered to the nobility to stave off disaster—dark tidings of smoke upon the water and fire filling the sky...274954200FalseTrue18180TrueFalseFalse
792788One of the few surviving members of an ancient family of armor-plated fish. The name comes from Ondo legend, which tells of the great fish god Caliban. He breathed life into one of His shed scales, and named the creature that sprung forth after Himself.274994200FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
793789This crustacean uses its long, thin pincers to pry its prey from the gaps between rocks. It is the progenitor of the modern rock lobster, but the increased water pressure of its deepwater habitat makes its flesh denser and more flavorful.275064200FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
794790Feared by sailors as a demon of the deep, this misunderstood cephalopod's habit of wrapping its slimy tentacles around mariners' legs and dragging them into the ink-stained seas is merely its way of showing affection.275094200FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
795791A single stippled eel's position in underwater society is largely dependent on the pattern of stripes and spots on its skin, with the most desirable individuals staking claim to the most desirable territory.275044200FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
796792A freshwater fish with beautiful, iridescent fins. Though native to the First, the name “guppy” was bestowed upon it by the Crystal Exarch himself, apparently after a naturalist from his native land.274324400FalseFalse38132507TrueFalseTrue
797793A type of primordial turtle with a wide, flat shell. Its name means “one tooth” in an ancient tongue, in reference to the single molar in each corner of its mouth. That, along with its wrinkled skin, has led some to nickname it the “Old Man of the Sea.”274564400FalseFalse08142507TrueTrueTrue
798794The spiny plates that cover this scalekin from the top of its nose to tip of its tail have led some to nickname it the knight of the desert. It traverses the sands by biting its tail and rolling along like a tumbleweed.274674400FalseFalse48152507TrueTrueTrue
799795Some scholars say that the large, bubble-like bags under its eyes are this shortsighted wavekin's way to make predators believe it sees more than it does. Others insist that it is merely sleep-deprived.274814400FalseFalse28162507TrueFalseTrue
800796A fish found only in the deepest, darkest parts of deep, dark caves. It is completely blind, with naught but scales where other wavekin have eyes, making them both revered and envied by the Children of the Everlasting Dark.274944400FalseFalse38172507TrueTrueTrue
801797A large, round, slow-swimming fish that seems like it would be easy pickings for a predator. However, when an attacker approaches, it spins its body from side to side, delivering stinging slaps with its swinging fins.275004300FalseFalse18180TrueFalseTrue
802798This wavekin's translucent body looks like an air bubble when it puffs itself up. This is thought to be a form of protective camouflage, but the ingenious disguise leads to other dangers, as on spotting its floating form, divers become inflamed with a desire to pop it.275014300FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
803799A crustacean covered in thick, white fur like that of the yetis who haunt the snowfields of Coerthas. Its eyestalks are underdeveloped compared to other crabs—instead of relying on eyesight, it navigates its surroundings by detecting the aether in the water with its hairs.275074300FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
804800This crustacean's multicolored coat serves as a warning signal. Though the shrimp is not poisonous, one would still be wise to give it a wide berth, as it ferociously attacks prey and potential predator alike with rapid swings of its hooklike claws.275144300FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
805801Easily identified by its bright blue skin, these sharks have long brought terror to the seabed settlements of the Ondo. Only those who have bested the blue bane in single combat are allowed to call themselves true warriors.275034300FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
806802Though it bears a close resemblance to the flytraps of the land, this is no plant, but rather a form of anemone. The seatrap takes any fish fool enough to stray too close into a tentacular embrace, though it means them anything but affection.275054300FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
807803A wavekin that lies under the seabed sand, its eyes staring straight up at the heavens. The Ondo were first introduced to the concept of the stars when an adventurer from the shore visited their seabed settlements and explained this fish's unusual name.275124300FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
808804This deep-sea octopus is well-known, and well loved, for its plump and adorable form. However, when lifted from the water, it is unable to maintain its shape against the force of gravity and falls as flat as a pancake.275104300FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
809805This wavekin spends its days lying in the shadows with its mouth closed, waiting for fish to float by. When suitable prey appears, the predator's kite-shaped jaws fly open and swallow it whole, before it returns to the shadows to rest, ruminate, and digest.275154300FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
810806Named for its resemblance to the fish people's hunting implements. It is unknown whether the similarity is merely incidental, or if the original Ondo took inspiration from the shark's unusual shape when crafting their weapons.275024300FalseFalse18180TrueFalseFalse
811807A rare, iridescent cousin of the nautilus. Fisherfolk consider it an omen of future fortune to find one in their nets—and not only because goldsmiths pay a high price for their scooped-out shells.275084400FalseFalse18182507TrueTrueTrue
812808Kholusians have feasted on the juicy innards of these pitch-black mollusks since time immemorial.

813809Its shimmering blue scales sparkle with such intensity that it even stands out against the vibrant blue hues of the Crystarium, in which it dwells. A popular tale among the residents describes a jeweler who tried to scoop one such fish out of the water to turn it into a necklace, only to fall in and almost drown. Few have attempted the feat since, with most fishers opting for more traditional methods.280654400TrueTrue38192507TrueTrueFalse
814810This close relative to the Eulmore butterfly is believed to have originally been bred in captivity before escaping from its tank into the waters of Kholusia, possibly after being poured into the sea during a domestic dispute. The manner in which it swims positively exudes elegance, which is possibly the result of its privileged upbringing. Privileged by wavekin standards, at any rate.280664400TrueTrue18202507TrueTrueTrue
815811Its pure white coloration has led many to speculate that it is in fact a sin eater, which while far from the truth, provides a convenient excuse for fishers who return empty-handed after attempting to snare this formidable creature.280674400TrueTrue38132507TrueFalseTrue
816812This well camouflaged flatfish moves with remarkable grace despite being covered in hard scales.

817813This elusive wavekin is prized for the hornlike fins that protrude through the sand.

818814While wild red betta are known for their limitless aggression, this particular specimen lives only to viciously torment its fellow wavekin. The manner in which it unrelentingly attacks foes much larger than itself is enough to give even the Fuath reason to avoid this flame-red horror.280704400TrueTrue38162507TrueTrueTrue
819815Many of the inhabitants of Fanow believe that this ferocious amphibian serves the Ronkan water gods, guarding the temple from evildoers. Few realize that it is simply a voracious predator that is quite content to devour anything and everything, regardless of any wicked thoughts its prey may or may not be having.280714400TrueTrue38172507TrueTrueFalse
820816With its eyes pointing ever upwards in much the same manner as the smaller stargazers, it lurks beneath the sand to ambush its unsuspecting prey. The Ondo have long believed that this particular species is swift enough to pluck a shooting star from the heavens, hence its name.280724400TrueTrue18182507TrueTrueTrue
821817Since ancient times, scholars have coveted this species of gastropod, not as a source of nutrition, but for the purple ink-like liquid that seeps out when it is disturbed. So common a sight were the discarded shells in the educational institutions of Lakeland that the creature came to be seen as a symbol of man's desire to pass on his knowledge to future generations.281893450FalseFalse38130TrueFalseFalse
822818Fishers are often amused by the nonchalant expression on the faces of these wavekin, even when dangling from a line with a hook in their mouth. Their sedate manner is also seen in the way they slowly drift around the pool at the bottom of White Oil Falls, which is said to make their meat wonderfully tender, whether fried or left in the sun to dry.281903500FalseFalse28140TrueFalseFalse
823819Although the pearls produced are indescribably beautiful, it is believed that each time one of these glistening orbs is used in the crafting of necklaces, brooches and the like, somebody is spirited away to the land of the faeries, never to be seen again. Some would claim that this is a small price to pay for such exquisite jewelry, however.281913550FalseFalse28160TrueFalseFalse
824820The Nabaath word “areng,” or “land,” is well known to residents of Amh Araeng, despite its language of origin having fallen out of common use. Fewer are those who know the meaning of “dire”─“shield,” but scholars surmise that this scalekin was named for its semblance to a crawling bulwark. Its light-yet-sturdy shell can be used to make armor, though it has become difficult to obtain since the Flood.281923700FalseFalse48150TrueFalseFalse
825821Until recent years, it was believed that these ungainly wavekin were swallowed by the Flood of Light, unable to escape due to the unbelievably slow pace at which they move. Whether they survived thanks to their natural resilience or through sheer luck remains a mystery, though many were glad to see these edible crustaceans return in great numbers to the waters of Kholusia. 281933800FalseFalse08140TrueFalseFalse
826822Researchers have termed their imposing nests “fortresses,” a word that, while perhaps grandiose, befits their makers' position at the top of the food chain. Woe betide any who encroaches upon one of these “fortresses,” for its castellan will defend it as fiercely as would any on land.289254600TrueTrue38132507TrueTrueTrue
827823The black and white stripes which adorn its body resemble a rare pattern of Ronso fur. The similarities between the two end there, however, as this fish's glower is known to cause people to soil themselves in laughter rather than terror.289264600TrueTrue28142507TrueTrueFalse
828824This wavekin's hide becomes sturdier and heavier as it ages, perhaps to protect it from the ocean's myriad predators. Of particular note are records from Nabaath Areng of a peculiar punishment in which criminals were made to wear attire fashioned from this hide, its weight serving as a literal burden of guilt. 289274600TrueTrue48152507TrueTrueTrue
829825Legend tells of an overcurious pixie who tread too close to Phisor Lran, but escaped their terrible fate by transforming into a fish. However, whether it be with fang and claw or with hook, line, and sinker, fate has a way of catching those who run from it.289284600TrueTrue28162507TrueFalseTrue
830826Said to be stained black by the blood of their slain caretakers, these fish swim with a fervor only those who have fled for their lives know. Just three are enough to turn a river's tide─would that they could turn the tide of battle as well.289294600TrueTrue28172507TrueTrueTrue
831827Yearning for the life his people left behind under the tides, an unnamed Ondo submerged his head beneath the ocean surface and gave cry. His silent lament gave form not to countless bubbles, but to a single fish, its size matching the depth of the Ondo's longing. 289304600TrueTrue18182507TrueTrueTrue
832828Sail to any part of the high seas and it is almost a given that some species of goby is swimming under the deck, and Galadion waters are no exception. A discerning eye will see that this particular goby has a somewhat wider dorsal fin than its counterpart found in the Strait of Merlthor. 2893711FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
833829While at first glance this anchovy may appear no different from those found in the waters of Limsa Lominsa, one sip of the broth made from its bones will compel even the most captious eater to return to Galadion Bay time and again.2893811FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
834830The Seventh Umbral Calamity brought violent upheavals to Eorzea's flora and fauna, not the least of which was an explosion of La Noscea's jellyfish population. The fact that they nearly choke the shores of the region is made only slightly bearable by their relatively harmless sting.2973911FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
835831This barracuda feasts on the flesh of dead fish, leading those who have spied the act to give it the moniker of “ghoul.” However, unlike its namesake, the fish poses little threat to the living, whether they be fish or man.2972211FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
836832Perhaps because there are too many in the sea to give a unique name to, it is not uncommon for a fish to be called after something on land to which it bears a strong resemblance. Or, in this case, after something to which it bears a scant resemblance.2972311FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
837833Schools of these fish are often referred to as swimming flowerbeds, so named for their vibrant scales and flower petal shape. A decidedly bashful aquatic flower, some might say, for few have ever had the pleasure of beholding their beauty up close.2894111FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
838834A razor-fanged fish known to swim in the waters of the Rhotano Sea. Unlike its sister fish found in the Sea of Ash, the Rhotano wahoo has had little choice but to prey upon poisonous fish. Over time, those that survive eventually develop mildly poisonous properties themselves. A trait that can prove fatal to the alchemist who cannot discern between these two otherwise identical siblings.2972811FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
839835A common and otherwise uninteresting fish whose only redeeming qualities are that it is edible and travels in giant schools. Because they can be caught in such large quantities, beggars are quick to choose this inexpensive fish for a meal that's easy on both their stomach and coinpurse.2972911FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
840836Normally found inhabiting relatively shallow seafloors, this species is said to be seen in waters as deep as 200 yalms. Researchers speculate a proliferation of these fish in recent years has forced them to seek deeper waters where they can more freely feed.2973011FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
841837A euryhaline fish that has long since migrated from the frozen waters of Coerthas to the Strait of Merlthor. The warm waters and abundance of food to be found there are said to be why they are able to grow so much larger than their Coerthan kin.2973611FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
842838Ships that should have the misfortune of encountering this monstrous cephalopod will soon find their keel snapped in twain, then drawn in to the beast's razor-beaked maw, never to be seen again. Or so claimed a captain found clinging to a reef in the northern Strait of Merlthor. Some say the smell of ale on his breath gave the lie to his tale, but any seaman worth their sea salt treads those waters with caution all the same.2973711FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
843839If the legends are true, this fish came to be when Oschon, god of wanderers and vagrants, cast a stone into the ocean which then gained sentience. Despite this and the passage of countless centuries, however, the stone has somehow yet to realize it has become a fish.2973811FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
844840Easily identified by their nuchal hump, jasperheads are highly prized for the unique, calcified stones formed in their bellies, said to match even the most opulent of jewels in color and beauty. The naturalist who named this fish denies all accusations that its nomenclature is at all related to his feud with an ex-colleague.2971912FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
845841A distant relative of the silver shark, its tarnished, dark grey skin is attributed to the warmer climate of its home near Galadion Bay.2894212FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
846842The rosy bream is known to have the shortest spawning season of any species of Bianaq bream, and some say it is for this reason their scales boast the richest colors. Even their eggs are an unusually vivid shade of crimson, leading many to believe theirs are the most nutritious and therefore worthy of a steeper price at market.2893912FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
847843Whether it be because of some long-forgotten affront to their honor or because they collectively forgot their natural shape, no specimen of this blowfish has ever been caught in a deflated state. Although one has never been observed exploding, fishers have given it this moniker in the fear that one day some poor soul might end up with a face full of spines.2972412FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
848844The sturdy fins of this fish maintain their firmness even bells after they have been wrested from the seas. In fact, by measuring the distance of each fin from the other, many say you can form a triangle whose proportions are as precise as any an arcanist could devise.2894012FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
849845Even a personage as exalted as the Sultan can be the object of ridicule, as observed in ages past when one of Ul'dah's monarchs mistook the name of a Lalafellin noblewoman. The sultan's detractors wasted no time in naming this fish after his gaffe, although there is much debate as to whose reputation was more damaged by this courtly intrigue─the sultan's, the woman's, or the fish's.2972512FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
850846Inhabiting the turbulent currents of the Rhotano Sea, the dull crimson of this fish's scales is made even more menacing when the proboscis upon its head shines red. Many a treasure-seeking fisher has been drawn in by its ruby glow, but few have returned with anything save open wounds.2973112FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
851847To many this shark may look much like the one endemic to the Strait of Merlthor, with its protruding eyes and oddly shaped head. Those familiar with the more obscure aspects of these seaborne predators, however, will note that its skin is a darker shade of black, likely due to the unique organisms present in the waters it inhabits.2973512FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
852848Insatiable in its appetites, this species of eel tends to be fattier than the varieties found in other parts of Eorzea. If they knew what people on land were calling them, perhaps they would save some of the ocean's prey for the other hungry fish.2973312FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
853849In contrast to the soaring arcs of its brethren in other parts of the ocean, this fish leaps through the Strait of Merlthor in short, cutting crescents. However, unlike its namesake, two sailors can toss it back and forth for bells and still have all their extremities intact at the end.2971812FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
854850This fish is often dragged out of the ocean along with the morass of seaweed in which it makes its home. The tangled algae is also its main source of sustenance, resulting in short periods of time in which it must swim through dangerous waters bereft of home or nourishment.2974012FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
855851The first fishers that spied this wavekin in their nets were astounded by its massive size, but their enthusiasm was soon dampened when they discovered that it had little in the way of edible meat. Although scant, its flavor was appetizing, and culinarians that know how to get the most out of each crab have become prized commodities in Limsa Lominsa.2974112FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
856852Historians debate the series of events that led to the discovery of the deep blue this octopus's ink produces, but most agree that it likely involved an angry cephalopod. Regardless, the results of the incident are well documented: dresses dyed with this ink became so in vogue that merchants were forced to produce imitations as the wavekin's population plummeted.2973413FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
857853Before the Seventh Umbral Calamity, the Heavenswimmer was never seen in Eorzean waters. However, the destruction wrought that fateful day would bring great change to the ocean's currents, altering the migration patterns of many a fish. It is for that reason the Heavenswimmer can, on occasion, be found swimming the waters of Galadion Bay.2972113FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
858854Sought after for display in aquariums, demand soared to perilous heights when word spread that Gegeruju would pay handsomely for a Merlthor butterfly. Hearing this, fishers all but threw themselves into the Strait of Merlthor, driving this fish to the brink of extinction. In the end, he would have his prize, but at a far greater cost than he realized.2972613FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
859855Named for its long and perilously sharp bill, many an unsuspecting fisher has found themself a ruin of cuts and gashes when attempting to reel in this predatory beast. (The inherent risk of bringing a fishing hook to a sword fight.)2972713FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
860856This mollusk is able to absorb and process aether through its gills in such a way that it may forgo eating for days at a time─weeks if necessary. A remarkable trait researchers have been eager to incorporate into submarine propulsion systems.2974213FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
861857A diminutive fish whose size belies its prodigious spawn. Indeed, so plentiful are its eggs that a single fish can produce a near-inexhaustible supply of roe. All the better for merchants who ply this delectable product to the realm's affluent.2973213FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
862858A large lobster found in the crisp cold waters of the northern Strait of Merlthor. They are considered a delicacy among the rich and well-to-do of Eorzea, so much so that no banquet can be considered a success without at least one platter of these succulent lobsters on hand.2972013FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
863859A wise man once said that it is best to be both loved and feared in equal measure─and that is the case for most of the dinichthys with respect to their Sahagin worshipers. This particular specimen, however, is too old, too powerful, and frankly, too tired to bother with all of that, demanding subservience through the sheer amount of terror it inspires.2974313FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
864860It is said that love is the primary nature of the Twelve, but that was not so when a blasphemous drunkard fell into Galadion Bay. He was cursed to live as a fish with a head retaining his own ale-sodden face. Rather than hide his shame, the drunkfish is known to lure sailors into the water, swimming to the surface knowing full well they will mistake him for a crewmate fallen overboard.2974414TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
865861A fish recently discovered in the waters of the southern Strait of Merlthor, named for its resemblance to the Lord of the Whorl. Much like other fish with legendary namesakes, the little Leviathan is anything but small.2974514TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
866862Kin to the armorer, the singular foot of this shellbound wavekin is protected with nigh-impregnable scales. The naturalist who discovered it did not hesitate in choosing a name befitting its resilience.2974614TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
867863These fish were once a common sight in Eorzean waters, but are now on the brink of extinction in the wake of the Seventh Umbral Calamity. Originally named by the Sahagin, their scarcity now lends itself to this moniker now widely used in the fishing community.2974714TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
868864The merman's mane is wont to appear mainly at night, the sight of it often likened to a man─or at least, the head of a man─amidst the waves. It is said to spy this wavekin on your journey is an ill omen, though none have lived to tell if their luck did indeed take a turn for the worse.2976614TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
869865Often avoided due to its potent poisonous properties, this fish is considered a rare delicacy for the man with nothing to lose. There is no questioning that one will die after even a mouthful. However, rumor has it that the heavenskey, as its name suggests, may save wayward souls intended for any one of the seven hells.2974914TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
870866Noting the haunting glow of its remains─a result of the fish's innate ability to store vast quantities of aether in its body that had yet to disperse─the two naturalists who first discovered this wavekin were at odds as to what to name it. One insisted it be named a phantom shark, the other a specter shark. After much feuding they came to a compromise, and thus it would be called the ghost shark.2975014TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
871867For centuries this wavekin was thought to be the stuff of legends, but recent encounters have shown it to be both very real and quite lethal. Speculation amongst anglers traces its name to accounts of a monster born of alchemy─an abomination of living liquid let loose by careless keepers to stalk the waters of Galadion Bay. Regardless, the danger of the creature itself remains cold, hard fact.2975114TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
872868Llymlaen, watcher of the seas and guardian of Limsa Lominsa. A benevolent god, and perhaps a clumsy one if certain legends are to be believed. It is said She is able to restore life to Her children of the sea─a skill She was quick to learn after stepping on said children one too many times, leaving peculiar fish-shaped footprints in Her wake.2975214TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
873869Like any casket worth opening, the mollusk locked firmly within this shell is said to be simply to die for. Their valves are often fused to large rocks on the seabed, however, making the task of their harvest quite difficult. Captains often keep caskets of a different sort at the ready in case of emergency.2975314TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
874870Like its goosefish brethren, the fishmonger is a rapacious eater, and certainly not a particular one. Cutting a fishmonger open, one will find the remains of other fish, sharks, mollusks, the occasional Lalafell─a veritable fisher's market of the southern seas.2975414TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
875871An elusive fish known to travel the seas along spectral currents. The faint glow of their scales from absorbing the currents' aether makes them a spectacular catch.2975514TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
876872The nimble dancer is known not only for the beautiful hues of its scales, but also its elongated fins that seem to dance effortlessly on the ocean's currents. Some fishers liken the rhythmic motion of its fins to the traditional dances of Radz–at–Han.2975614TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
877873Veteran seafarers all recall the first time they mistook the golden bell of this jellyfish for jettisoned plunder, and getting stung by one is a rite of passage for many. Luckily the poison is a mere annoyance, causing an itch that persists for days, but nothing more.2975714TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
878874This wavekin bears the scars of countless hooks and spears that missed their mark. Perhaps content that it had achieved victory over the most hardened seamen, it offered up little resistance when it found itself at the end of a fishing hook one fateful day. That fisher may have caught one of the most cantankerous fish the high seas have ever known, but did they really deserve the honor?2975814TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
879875A common story heard in the taverns of port towns is one in which a helmsman spots the sail of a wrecked ship on the horizon. Whether driven by greed or compassion, the captain then orders the crew to change course to the direction of the sighting. However, not several malms from their destination, all eyes lose sight of the sail, and any ship it may have been part of.2975914TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
880876Pretender to the throne, a mere shadow of the light it apes, dissembler of the highest order, and soulless charlatan─this wavekin has been called all that and more besides. However, the vitriol fails to penetrate the helmet's shell, and so the impostor sleeps, content inside its ill-begotten plunder.2977914TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
881877Some sailors doubt the existence of the so-called “spectral currents,” but one look at this wavekin is enough to set their misgivings to rest for good. It is also enough to set their minds racing with images of finding such an abomination on the decks of their ships─or worse, under their bedcovers. 2976114TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
882878Its beautiful trailing fins are said to conjure images of the sun goddess's flowing robes. Catching one is believed to bring great fortune, provided that it is immediately returned to the waves. Failure to do so will conversely result in the angler and seven generations of their offspring being horribly cursed.2976014TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
883879Though its unusual frond-like fins were originally a means of camouflage, they grew larger over time and are now used to threaten those that intrude on its territory. While this may prove effective against smaller wavekin, larger predators will not hesitate to gobble it up, impressive fins or no.2976314TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
884880Its cunning disguise as a piece of inanimate coral is perfectly complemented by its natural tendency to remain perfectly still unless absolutely necessary. This is, however, credited to sheer laziness rather than an innate desire to survive.2976414TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
885881Taking its name from the Rogue River, fossil remains indicate that it was once a land-dwelling scalekin that returned to the water. The other inhabitants of the Rogue River were, by all accounts, rather unhappy with this arrangement, as it proceeded to steal the top position on the food chain.2976514TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
886882Possesses incredible speed, though unfortunately only when swimming backwards. This oceanic oddity wishes it had eyes in the back of its head.2977514TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
887883Unlike its close cousin, the ferocious hammerhead, this particular species is content to forgo larger prey in favor of scouring the ocean floor for smaller morsels. Given the methodical manner in which it feeds, many believe it is merely trying to keep its habitat free from detritus.2976714TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
888884Due to the potent-yet-nonlethal poison that courses through its body, those who dine upon its delectable meat find their throats close up after the meal, rendering them unable to speak for several bells. Even served surreptitiously to those who are due to give testimony, making it a popular purchase among the criminal element of Limsa Lominsa.2976814TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
889885Some fishers claim that the “deep” part of its name in fact refers to its profound understanding of the greater workings of the universe, rather than the depth at which it swims.2976914TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
890886Rumor has it that one member of this particular species once carved a large hole in the hull of a pirate ship, and thereby drowning all on board. Fishers often go to great lengths to hunt these wavekin, not for their meat, but to stop them before they can cause significant damage.2977014TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
891887The first person to look at one of these bizarre creatures and think, “I'm going to eat that,” must surely not have been of sound mind. Yet their blatant disregard for its multitude of spines was rewarded, and they found that the insides were not only creamy and flavorsome, but edible. One cannot help but wonder how many other unpleasant ocean-dwellers were sampled prior to making this unlikely discovery.2977114TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
892888This wavekin's natural defense is its size; it is simply too large for most other wavekin to fit into their mouths. Other than that, it relies on its sheer ordinariness to remain unnoticed by those predators with the means to make a meal of this docile drifter. Docile, that is, until it catches sight of Lalafell, which are believed to be its favorite snack.2977214TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
893889Despite having grown to a far larger size than considered necessary for his kind, he continues to roam the waters of the world in search of what a fish would consider a good time, rather than return to his spawning grounds to produce offspring. 2978014TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
894890Though it may appear defenseless at first glance, its soft, scaleless body conceals a row of aether-imbued spines to spear the mouths of those who would feed upon it. Unfortunately, this form of protection does rely on already being inside the predator's mouth to be effective, which comes as too little, too late in most cases.2977414TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
895891In addition to being able to crush shell and bone, its pincers can also be used to club its prey into submission. Its only shortcoming is its inability to swim, as it is capable of little more than bobbing up and down clumsily like a floating shoe.2974814TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
896892Held in great esteem by the Sahagin, whose legends tell of a great wavekin borne on silvery waves that granted them divine knowledge and the secrets of the harpoon. In reality, however, this beast of the deep is far less benevolent, as those unfortunate enough to encounter one normally end up with less than the standard number of fingers.2977614TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
897893Clad in thick chitin plates and armed with razor-sharp pincers, this vicious wavekin makes sport of many weaker ocean-dwellers, seemingly murdering them for its own amusement. It is rumored that it also has a more genial side, if one is prepared to overlook the fact it is practically an aquatic serial killer.2977714TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
898894In spite of its rather fearsome name, the leisurely pace with which it gently paddles through the water is more akin to strolling than prowling. Some theories suggest that the name was invented by fishers to make the minor feat of catching one sound more impressive than it actually is.2977814TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
899895Beneath the waves, there are few sights more astonishing than one of these graceful wavekin in motion, its elegant membranes resembling a flowing ballroom dress. Far less breathtaking is its appearance when raised out of the water on an angler's line, where its appearance is something akin to an innkeeper's mop, hence the name.2977314TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
900896When viewed from a distance, could be mistaken for an upturned porcelain saucer. Even when observed from close proximity, the faint pattern even resembles the remnants of a picture rendered in gold leaf.2976214TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
901897Known to possess a certain low cunning, and has been reported to ram smaller craft in the hopes of knocking the occupants overboard. Lalafells are particularly vulnerable to such attacks and it is advised that they tie a rope around their waist to avoid becoming this wavekin's luncheon.2978114TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
902898Said to be a distant relation of the basking shark that inhabits the Sea of Clouds. However, rather than being content to feast only on plankton like its more docile cousin, it will gladly swallow anything it can fit in its gaping maw. A chocobo saddle was found in the belly of one caught off the shores of Aleport, though the fate of the bird to which it was once attached remains a mystery.2978214TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
903899Seldom seen by fishers due to its natural aversion to the more commonly used baits and lures. Its primary means of survival appears to be fleeing from absolutely anything that comes near it. Some believe that many even die from starvation because they are simply too scared to approach the smaller fish on which they are supposed to feed.2978314TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
904900As if being made of pure muscle and armed with rows of razor-sharp teeth was not imposing enough, this apex predator is blessed with an ominous, spectral glow. It seems unconcerned by the fact this alerts prey of its approach, as attempts to flee are almost guaranteed to end in failure. Perhaps this is nature's way of giving its next meal a sporting chance.2978414TrueFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
905901While being bathed in aether may serve to benefit some varieties of wavekin, this poor specimen has been rendered vulnerable to predation due to its increased visibility. Some anglers, however, view its bizarre coloration with suspicion, and steer clear to avoid the possibility of poisoning. After all, how many of the foods consumed by land-dwellers are a luminous blue?2978514TrueFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
906902Although most sea-anythings fail to live up to their land-based namesakes, an ethereal blue glow can do wonders for one's standing among wavekin. It may not have much in the way of natural defenses, but the air of confidence this sea bo exudes will make many think twice before challenging it to a race.2978614TrueFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
907903Although bass are far from the most beautiful of fish, this particular variety is highly sought by collectors for its mysterious azure aura. Many are disappointed to find that this quickly dissipates after the fish expires, and it is better suited to being kept in an aquarium than to being stuffed and mounted.2978714TrueFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
908904This ancient species of turtle has, for reasons unknown, come to have brilliantly glowing crystal fused with its shell. Those traversing the seas at night have reported seeing their light shining from beneath the waves, earning them the appellation “Star of the Deep.”297884455TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
909905So slow-moving and docile are these wavekin that they often become home to several varieties of coral. These complex miniature ecosystems include creatures that spend their entire lives on the back of one of these gentle giants, many of which are edible. As such, a veritable seafood smorgasbord can result from a single catch, if one has the strength to reel it in.297894455TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
910906Despite being at the very top of the food chain, this formidable species has nigh-impenetrable natural defenses. They are said to be rockfins that have lived for so long that the stony covering has spread to envelop their entire body. Should the adage, “There is always a bigger fish,” actually prove true, said bigger fish would no doubt struggle to feast on such an obviously inedible creature.297904455TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
911907Once thought to be extinct, legends tell of this enormous creature being used to tow pirate ships in the seas around Aerslaent. They are said to form close bonds with those worthy of their respect, even going so far as to sacrifice themselves for the good of their masters.297914455TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
912908In light of its origin, perhaps it is unsurprising that this coral is thought to be imbued with Thaliak's wisdom. Many even believe that giving a chunk of it a good lick will grant the taster a flash of inspiration─a practice that is both highly frowned upon and widely perpetuated in scholarly circles.296734400FalseFalse33990TrueFalseFalse
913909Though these mollusks may simply fancy dragon bone for its defensive properties, Coerthan folklore has it that their flesh arose from within it, and that they are themselves, in some sense, bone given new life. Indeed, the influence of lingering wyrm aether would explain their overall lethality...though not their predisposition toward cannibalism.296784500FalseFalse33970TrueFalseFalse
914910This wavekin's blue carapace turns a pale rose hue when heat is applied to it; a common sight in the taverns of Wright, where the cast-off shells of growing crabs are fried whole and served with a draught of ale. One crab's trash is a hungry man's pleasure.304874600FalseFalse08142507TrueFalseFalse
915911This fish is said to have come into being when a pixie, having grown tired of playing princess, dropped a wreath of flower petals into a nearby pond. Any who have seen a school of these wavekin up close will attest that the legend must be true, for the vibrancy of their coloring rivals that of any flowerbed.305934600FalseFalse38160TrueFalseFalse
916912During spawning season, this wavekin becomes enveloped in milky eggs. A small panic was caused when a citizen of the Crystarium mistook a pregnant fish for a waterborne sin eater, and although the mistake was soon realized, the incident earned the creature this ominous moniker forevermore.304324600TrueTrue38192507TrueTrueTrue
917913The encroachment of man-eating wavekin tends to cause a frenzy that does more harm than good. In an effort to stem the panic, the soldiers who first discovered these beasts gave them a nickname that belied their cruel nature. Irony is often lost on the general populace, however, and it is unclear how many naive souls have made the mistake of taking the name literally.304334600TrueTrue38132507TrueFalseTrue
918914The skin of the taimen is known for its durability, and has long been used to make a peculiar form of leather. This particular variety of the wavekin is much larger than the common species, making its by-products well suited for ropes and other materials that bear heavy weights.304344600TrueTrue28142507TrueFalseFalse
919915This wavekin's name means “wide fish” in the language of the pixies. While it sounds pleasant to the ears of those unfamiliar with that fey tongue, none have thought to ask the creatures themselves what they think of the appellation's poeticism.304354600TrueTrue38162507TrueTrueTrue
920916After surviving countless duels to the death against other, bigger lobsters, this wavekin emerged victorious atop a mountain of severed claws, only to finally end up on your fishing hook. Its claws snap open and closed, recounting their brutal struggles, but to you it only conjures up the image of a goldsmith delicately taking measures for her next project.304364600TrueTrue28162507TrueFalseTrue
921917The Viis tell stories of ravenous catfish that lurk just below the surface of shallow lakes, lying in wait until a creature is foolish enough to slake its thirst. For all their wisdom, many a Qitari would fall prey to this trick, and get dragged into the depths along with their accumulated knowledge. That the Viis named this wavekin thusly may indicate which of those losses they viewed to be more egregious. 304374600TrueTrue28172507TrueTrueTrue
922918None know exactly how the first culinarian to make pancakes was inspired, but many have surmised that this wavekin may have provided at least the initial spark. Delicious as it may look from the outside, any who are unfortunate enough to be drawn in by its innocuous exterior will soon be met with rows of razor-sharp teeth before being smothered in the cephalopod's embrace.304384600TrueTrue18182507TrueTrueTrue
923919This wavekin's beauty is rivaled only by its wrath. The Ondo have long prized its shell, but caution their younglings with the tale of a cadre of brave warriors who set out to procure one for their queen. They eventually returned with their prize, but five fewer in number and unwilling to speak about their experience, leaving each subsequent storyteller to fill in the grisly details.304394600TrueTrue18182507TrueTrueTrue
924920While the metallic shell of this wavekin offers protection from aquatic predators, it proved ineffective against the ingenuity of fishers, who found a market for the rigid material among those who require protection from terrestrial dangers. The sight of it floating just under the water's surface evokes the image of Halone's shield, but divinity only commands so much respect in the face of profit.304883450FalseFalse73980TrueFalseFalse
925921The bones of this wavekin are uncommonly sturdy and sharp, which led to them being used as hooks by the fishers of the Ruby Sea. Legends abound of the first angler whose mettle was a match for this fish, and each ship captain insists that their version of the tale is the truth.304893500FalseFalse16130TrueFalseFalse
926922Despite how unappetizing this weed may appear at a glance, enterprising souls have discovered that once it is dried and ground into a fine seasoning, it brings out the flavor of almost any meal. Animals have taken a liking to it as well, and a sprinkling of it in a bucket of feed will have them devouring even the most unpalatable mixture.304903550FalseFalse64010TrueFalseFalse
927923Fans of dishes made with this meaty fish will swear that it is more savory than beef or mutton. The trick to catching them is to aim for the fastest specimens, for they are always the most well-fed among their schools, reaching prodigious sizes by virtue of always being the first served.304913700FalseFalse16130TrueFalseFalse
928924The ink sacs of this bivalve mollusk have long been favored for the vibrant colors of the prints they produce. Other parts of the wavekin have been used for less scrupulous purposes; the pearls in particular are sold as counterfeit linkpearls, and many have been left mumbling into an inert mineral, wondering why their allies have abandoned them.304923800FalseFalse23990TrueFalseFalse
929925Aptly named for their resemblance to plum blossom petals, these vividly colored bivalves have long been used not only for decoration, but also in the construction of various tools.311294600FalseTrue36140TrueFalseFalse
930926An exotic fish best known for its glimmering gold scales, though they are often marred with the blood of their kin. Combative by nature, Allagan hunters are known to devour one another, and this cannibalistic behavior is said to be the source of their scales' resilience and lustrous sheen.311344600FalseTrue84020TrueFalseFalse
931927Outshining even its lesser cousin, the platinum guppy, this scintillating freshwater beauty is also said to have been named by the Crystal Exarch. How he knew to compare it to the light of an unseen moon has, in certain circles, been the subject of some debate.320494900TrueTrue38132507TrueTrueTrue
932928Records state that the lord of Eulmore was once presented with a fan of metallic jade sheen, which, after a brief moment's disdainful appraisal, he promptly flung over the balcony and into the sea. Had that discarded treasure suddenly rippled and swam away, it would have greatly resembled this shimmering wavekin.320504900TrueTrue28142507TrueFalseTrue
933929This primordial species of turtle grows to impressive size, its bulk protected by an iron-hard shell. Kholusian warriors once fashioned its natural armor into shields, and these relics of a bygone era can still be unearthed from sites scattered across the island.320514900TrueTrue08142507TrueTrueTrue
934930Certain of the blotchy patterns upon this fish's scales appear to be lettering, distorted as if drawn in watery ink. One story claims the freshwater denizen was once the tome of a royal archivist who, fleeing from a sin eater, dropped it into a mountain stream, with the book assuming its current form in some arcane act of self-preservation.320524900TrueTrue28162507TrueTrueTrue
935931Sheathed in lustrous scales of shining pearl, this entrancing specimen has a taste for flesh. Anyone foolish enough to wade into its territory will soon feel needle-sharp teeth sinking into a leg, the bite deep enough to expose bone.320534900TrueTrue38172507TrueTrueTrue
936932True to its name, this savage deep-sea predator has claimed the lives of many an Ondo warrior seeking the glory of battle. The crimson cloud left drifting in its wake marks the end of countless tales of terror.320544900TrueTrue18182507TrueTrueTrue
937933The carapace of this crab is unusually thick and durable, as if it had, indeed, traded shells with an amenable, hard-backed reptile. Such natural defenses, however, avail it little against a sudden influx of crab boats, seeking to capitalize on the growing demand for this Cieldalaes delicacy.3205511FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
938934So beautiful did folk find the silvery spiral of this conch that they likened it to a shimmering jewel─specifically the priceless one which slipped through the careless fingers of Princess Edvya and bounced into the ocean as she skipped across the deck of the royal galleon.3205611FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
939935This species of fugu puffs itself up into a shape that resembles nothing more than a five-sided box. Coastal villagers in the Cieldalaes are known to craft beautiful and surprisingly sturdy containers from the reflective wavekin's dried remains.3205711FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
940936Although technically a type of river crab, this crustacean spends its larval stage in the sea. Once grown, it crawls up to dwell in the waters of the Thaliak, only to return to the ocean again and again in order to spawn.3207511FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
941937Some say that when the burning fragments of Rhalgr's beacon plunged into the ocean, the life which pulsed within them could not be extinguished. On moonlit nights they float upon the surface, the star-studded waters becoming as a mirror to the twinkling sky above.3207611FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
942938Similar in appearance to the false scad, dissections have nonetheless shown this wavekin's internal anatomy is more closely related to an actual scad. Yet despite being turned literally inside out, the truth of this fish's taxonomy remains the subject of endless─and often petty─dispute.3207711FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
943939The dark half of this blowfish is no empty metaphor─the deeper the pigment, the more densely packed its prickly spines. Individuals boasting the most tenebrous hues have been observed receiving preferential treatment within their shoals.3209511FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
944940Though closely related to its elongated cousin, the malm kelp, this Rothlyt Sound native is known more for the plumpness of its fronds than any extraordinary length. Some seaweed connoisseurs, however, express a preference for thickness.3209611FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
945941The soft, seemingly candlelit glow of this jellyfish has entranced the gaze of many a seafarer, bringing a sense of safety and contentment. As such, finding a living lantern in one's nets is considered an omen of good fortune amongst the fisherfolk of the Rothlyt Sound.3209711FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
946942Most assume this manta was so named for its great width and distinctive coloring, but some choose to believe the rather more whimsical tale of its origin─that a pack of goobbues, wading in the shallows, grew so enamored of the ocean that they assumed forms which would let them frolic in the waves forevermore.3205812FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
947943With its great fins spread wide, this wavekin flits through the water like...well, one might say a butterfly were it a prettier fish, but as things stand, it puts folk more in mind of a moth.3205912FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue

949945This species of wrasse does, in fact, owe its name to the Bloodbrine Sea in which it dwells. It was merely a happy coincidence that the habit these wavekin have of smashing their lumpy heads together often gives them a scarlet-stained appearance. 3207812FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
950946Legend has it that these were once simple blue crabs, which, upon beholding the painted nails of well-groomed merfolk, were consumed with irrational envy.

951947There is a tale passed down from generation to generation that tells of Llymlaen using the spindly, needle-like limbs of this wavekin to weave a fishing net malms and malms across. As such, its semblance traditionally signifies a big haul of fish amongst the coastal communities of the Bloodbrine.3208012FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
952948The pattern on this wavekin's scales creates the illusion of a small rock honeycombed with holes. When tiny fish swim near, seeking refuge in these “hollows,” they instead find themselves trapped inside a toothy cavern. Momentarily, at least.3209812FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
953949The staggering size of these mollusks has fired the imagination of artists since the dawn of man.

954950This wavekin is known for roaming great distances on the ocean's currents, often attaching itself to schools of smaller fish in the role of temporary guardian. Such behavior gives the impression of a mercenary protecting a band of travelers, but it is rarely─if ever─paid for its services.3210012FalseFalse19000TrueFalseTrue
955951Though few in number these days, this species of wavekin gave rise to every variant of mahi-mahi which now populate the expanse of the southern seas.

959955Preferring the warm embrace of more temperate waters, this shark will follow the seasonal currents over vast distances when it comes time to breed. Among Thavnairian fisherfolk, it is known as a symbol of fertility and a reminder of the changing seasons.3210113FalseFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
960956This juvenile stage of the jade eel is most often found in open sea, where the prey is plentiful.

961957In contrast to its dull, rubble-like exterior, the inside of this wavekin's maw rivals the rainbow beauty of a crystal prism. Those braving a closer look should also be prepared to admire its razor-sharp teeth.3206414TrueTrue19000TrueFalseFalse
962958This species of octopus is easily recognized by its round eyes and droopy earlike flaps. One goblin fisher was heard to remark on its passing resemblance to a drunken companion who, it seems, had removed his face covering to vomit into a rock pool.3208414TrueTrue19000TrueFalseFalse

964960This crab is prized for the cloud-soft whiteness and delicacy of its meat. Unscrupulous fishmongers are known to boil cheaper specimens to simulate the crimson hue of its carapace, but a canny customer always checks the thickness of the shell.3206514TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
965961The metallic sheen of this fish's scales has been intensified by an inundation of aether. Fisherfolk will sometimes fashion its remains into a box in truth, the containers favored for carrying hooks, pretty seashells, and other such valuables.3206614TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
966962A legendary pirate needs a legendary vessel, and not just the sailing kind. Tavern keepers claim that Mistbeard would come in with the shell of a gargantuan nautiloid, and ask to fill it with a barrel's worth of grog.3206714TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
967963Propelling itself through the water with sinuous undulations, this primitive wavekin falls upon its prey with surprising swiftness. Its similarities to the anomalocaris in the Sea of Clouds suggest an evolutionary divergence in the distant past.3206814TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
968964Should it be exposed to fire, this oily eel will burn quite readily, the flaming pattern on its skin soon replaced by actual flames.

970966Sailors speak grimly of a devilish fish which rides the spectral current. They claim this wavekin takes a dark delight in chasing down and impaling prey with its highly toxic spines, only to wait and watch as its victim writhes in protracted agony.3207114TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
971967A species of catfish armored in rows of bony plates. Territorial rivals will ram each other with shocking ferocity, the victor decided when the osseous scales of the weaker specimen crack and break away.3207214TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
972968This enormously rotund variety of sunfish does not swim so much as allow itself to be swept along. Meetings between potential mates occur only at the whim of the currents, leading many to wonder how the species has not already drifted into extinction.3207314TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
973969A particularly large variant of the bloodpolish crab said to appear with the spectral current. Its habit of cramming the shredded pieces of prey into a chosen hollow has been interpreted by some as a ritual offering to the all-seeing spirits of the deep.3208514TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
974970Sufficiently mature bream will venture into the sea for a period of time, before eventually returning to the mountain rivers in which they were spawned. Those caressed by the spectral currents end their sojourn stained a deep shade of cinnabar.3208614TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse

978974Armed with heavy pincers and a voracious appetite, this crab is rightly feared by the other denizens of the spectral current for its relentless enthusiasm in dismembering and devouring still-living prey.3209014TrueFalse19000TrueTrueFalse
979975Any tuna that can survive and flourish in the cruelest of the Bloodbrine's currents is a rarity to be treasured─a notion reflected in the steep price one of these exceptional specimens commands when brought to auction in the fish markets.3209114TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
980976This primitive species of coelacanth coasts through its territory with brazen deliberation, secure in its place at the top of the food chain. Though its pace is leisurely, fish are often tumbled head over tail by the powerful current created by its passage.3209214TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
981977An overlong stint in the aetherial blue has altered this wavekin's distinctive head into a semi-crystalline state. By peering into its pale, translucent depths, one can observe the pulsing strands of the creature's nervous system.3209314TrueFalse19000TrueFalseFalse
982978Pufferfish are often dried and crafted into some manner of serviceable container─in this case, a jug for holding fish sauce.

10061002Found in the brackish waters which collect in the caverns of Woven Oath, these fish instinctively sink down to the deepest, darkest part of their stygian homes.

10181014Called “butterfly wings” in the faerie tongue in praise of its elegant fins, this wavekin is said to have been glamoured by a pixie to resemble their beloved, departed Titania.332424900TrueTrue38162507TrueTrueTrue
10191015The great serpent's true form is described as a gargantuan scaled monstrosity. Could the appearance of this...somewhat less impressive creature be a sign that the fabled beast's own return to the forest is imminent? Or is it entirely unrelated?332434900TrueTrue38172507TrueTrueFalse
10201016The lancetfish fills its own body and bones with water to control its buoyancy in the depths of the ocean, leading some to believe it is an incarnation of the deep-sea currents themselves.332444900TrueTrue18182507TrueTrueTrue
10211017A variety of shellfish from the northern seas. In Sharlayan, this mollusk bears no sobriquet, and instead is simply referred to by its malacological name.363854300FalseTrue09620TrueFalseFalse
10221018When pickled in vinegar, this wavekin is a delight to find on one's dinner plate. More often, however, it ends up in the dough for Archon loaf, as it makes for perfect fish meal.363864950FalseFalse09620TrueFalseFalse
10231019This puffer's perfectly round face brings to mind the endearing look of a dog begging for treats, which inspired its name. Unlike the lovable creature it so resembles, however, this wavekin is packed to the literal gills with toxins so noxious, it has almost no known predators.363874950FalseFalse09620TrueFalseFalse
10241020Boasting a rather dazzling color, it is hardly a wonder whence this wavekin's name derives. The aetherial currents in which the creature swims likely played no small role in its scales' brilliance.363885000FalseFalse09620TrueFalseFalse
10251021Despite the fact that this wavekin belongs to the ray family, the guitar enthusiasts that rallied around this wavekin's peculiar shape have seemingly bequeathed it a name so simple, naught can dislodge it.363895100FalseFalse09620TrueFalseFalse
10261022Yet another variety of the already ubiquitous crayfish, this wavekin, boiled in salt water, can oft be found upon Sharlayan dining tables in the early days of summer.363904300FalseFalse29620TrueFalseFalse
10271023The peacock bass, a variety of wavekin of which there are many and more, is known for its handsome scales and vibrant coloration. This fish is a great favorite among Sharlayan anglers who enjoy long, thoughtful meditations.363924950FalseFalse29620TrueFalseFalse
10281024The protruberance of this wavekin's brow calls to mind the unquenchable thirst for knowledge and accompanying irritation that plagues so many scholars. Indeed, the weight of its cranial peculiarity upsets its balance to such an extent that it swims as an academic might walk─or rather blearily stumble─after a long night poring over tomes.363934950FalseFalse29620TrueFalseFalse
10291025As lithe and cutting as a rapier, this wavekin slices through rivers at incredible speeds, darting from the river's mouth to its head, feasting on all manner of fish and mollusk in between.363945000FalseFalse29620TrueFalseFalse
10301026This slight, thin-finned wavekin is known for its docility and diffidence, and can oft be found tarrying in the water's darker corners, as if lost in deep contemplation.363954300FalseFalse39620TrueFalseFalse
10311027Watching this creature's innumerable tentacles sway in the current brings to mind the beauty of true dahlias. Unlike the flower from which it takes its name, however, this wavekin does not root itself to one location, but rather rolls across sea and lake bed in search of sustenance.363964950FalseFalse39620TrueFalseFalse
10321028A unique variety of wavekin bred in the Dravanian colony. The exodus saw its return to Old Sharlayan, where the most beautiful specimens are selectively bred and propagated.363974950FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10331029This member of the koi family is capable of adapting effortlessly to any and all climes. Its uncommon durability made it a prime candidate for release into the waters of Labyrinthos, the better to test its tolerance to artificial environs.363984950FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10341030A diminutive wavekin known for its adaptability in the face of both pollution and extreme temperature changes. It feeds on foreign contaminants and the eggs of insects found in the waters circulating from Unmoved Source Alpha.363994300FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10351031A variety of peacock bass whose large stripes distinguish it from others of its kind. As its habitat dictates its pigmentation and patterns, this wavekin is of great interest to researchers in Labyrinthos for both scientific and aesthetic reasons.364005000FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10361032A freshwater crustacean with a moss-green carapace. Its habit of ingesting aether makes it a crude-yet-effective means for measuring the aetheric concentration of any water source.356044300FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10371033A subspecies of snook reared in hypogean hatcheries. Their coloration and musculature differ from that of their superterranean siblings, a fact which is no doubt both meaningful and revealing to those who care about such things.364025100FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10381034Though perhaps too conspicuous for its own good, this wavekin's shimmering scales and striped orange tail fin make for a welcome sight to naturalists in the know, as its diet of moss and microbial organisms helps maintain balance within the biosphere.364035000FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10391035Few would describe this wavekin's coloration as unique, and fewer still can distinguish it from similar species─of which there are many─as its only defining feature is the black stripe that appears when predators encroach upon its territory.364045000FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10401036This lichen-hued wavekin is entirely unique to Labyrinthos. Its existence proves that breeding species with typically broad migratory patterns within confined environments has promise as a method for developing optimal food sources.364055100FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10411037Despite every appearance of it being a member of the salmonid class of wavekin, this fish is in fact a variety of koi hatched in Sharlayan and the product of selective breeding. During spawning season, its blue scales instead adopt a red hue.364075100FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10421038Though hatched in captivity, this variety of bowfin has existed unchanged since time out of mind, proof that its reddish brown scales provide the perfect camouflage amongst roots or driftwood. Even the safety of an artificial environment has yet to cause it to evolve in any significant way.364085270FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10431039This variety of long-clawed wavekin is the oldest of its kind and originated in the waters of the Near East, though few are to be found there at present. Labyrinthos's ichthyologists are currently researching the viability of breeding more in captivity.364095000FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10441040This entomophagous wavekin's pointed snout hides a unique propulsion mechanism that shoots water at high speeds to stun prey. Its incredible level of accuracy has led many to believe that it can detect aetheric fluctuations.364105100FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10451041Known for its ominous scales of shimmering sable, legend has it this wavekin is the living manifestation of a thief's blade. Such tall tales were quickly revealed as fiction, though, when ichthyologists began to rear them in hatcheries. 364115200FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10461042A propagated color variant, this wavekin has an exquisite cobalt hue which is thought to be caused by the complex aether flowing both above and below ground in Sharlayan.364125100FalseFalse29560TrueFalseFalse
10471043Though classified as a freshwater wavekin, this fish is capable of surviving in both polluted environs and saltwater. Their copious numbers in Labyrinthos are likely an indication of the quality of their breeding grounds.364145700FalseFalse29562509TrueTrueTrue
10481044The trunk-like snout for which this wavekin is known is adored by the Matanga of Thavnair. Legend has it that the creature's ancestor─a sadly trunkless fellow, as fish are wont to be─fell so deeply in love with an Arkasodara maiden that it grew its nose out through sheer force of will in the hopes of impressing her.364155000FalseFalse39630TrueFalseFalse
10491045The waters that flank Meghaduta are teeming with these wavekin, whose fatty flesh makes them exceptionally toothsome. They are often served at dinners hosted by the satrap with a heaping helping of spice-rich sauce.364175000FalseFalse39630TrueFalseFalse
10501046At the tip of the longear sunfish's opercular bones sit rounded protrusions that greatly resemble ears, which is likely how this wavekin earned its name. In reality, these protuberances are part of its gills, and the faster it swims, the more the “ears” undulate.364185100FalseFalse39630TrueFalseFalse
10511047Treasured in Radz–at–Han since time immemorial, these strikingly silver wavekin can be caught by none other than the satrap and his immediate kin. Poaching them from the waters of Meghaduta is strictly forbidden.364195200FalseFalse39630TrueFalseFalse
10521048Small, freshwater wavekin whose territory stretches from coral to coast in southern Thavnair. They are oft touted as a local delicacy by the fisherfolk.364204950FalseFalse09570TrueFalseFalse
10531049These flatfish bear the name of “boat” in a language spoken by migrants from the continent, likely because they resemble a passing ship's shadow. They can oft be seen slinking along the sandy bottoms of shoals in search of prey.364215000FalseFalse09570TrueFalseFalse
10541050This crab's carapace is so arrestingly cerise, it is no surprise it was bestowed the name of “rose.” Indeed, when multiple gather, they resemble a flower in full bloom. Alas, these roses of the sea, like their floral counterparts, have a thorn─deadly toxins.364225100FalseFalse09570TrueFalseFalse
10551051Similar to the beast from which its name derives, this wavekin's defining brown spots stretch across the whole of its body. In the grouper's case, however, said spots confuse potential predators by their semblance to eyes rather than acting as camouflage.364235200FalseFalse09570TrueFalseFalse
10561052The dazzling colors of this wavekin's scales oft inspire comparison to Thavnair's vibrant silks. In Thavnair's fishing hamlets, a bride will weave the pattern of a fate's design caught by her betrothed into garments for the ceremony.364255100FalseFalse09570TrueFalseFalse
10571053Born deep within the abyssal zone, these wavekin migrate upward through the waters in search of prey. By turning to expose their lower fins as the rest of their body lurks in the shadows below, they lure unsuspecting fish above into striking range.364265100FalseFalse09570TrueFalseFalse
10581054With its vicious temperament and superior size, this territorial slickhead reigns supreme over the southern seas. Given its place at the top of the food chain, there is little wonder that it was chosen to bear the name of an ancient Arkasodara king.364275200FalseFalse09570TrueFalseFalse
10591055The sensation experienced when touching this wrasse's scales is akin to that of being kissed by lightning, giving rise to its name. No doubt related is how the wavekin causes disturbances to aetherial currents, particularly when gathered with others of its kind.356054950FalseFalse09570TrueFalseFalse
10601056Alchemists of the Great Work are responsible for this wavekin's golden scales. Upon closer inspection, one may find that some bear symbols or even figures in profile, evidence of alchemical attempts to turn them into coinage.364305270FalseFalse09570TrueFalseFalse
10611057Found twirling endlessly in the waters of the Giantsgall Grounds, legend has it these wavekin were once dancers who dreamt of performing in Kadjaya's Footsteps before suffering a fall from grace.364315000FalseFalse39570TrueFalseFalse
10621058The word “massive” does no justice to these toads, who fortunately find a sufficiency of humid air to wet their skin in the jungles of Thavnair. So large are they that many believe they were once Arkasodara, ere being transmuted into amphibians for some manner of alchemical transgression.364325100FalseFalse39570TrueFalseFalse
10631059Once presented to the satrap as a gift, this non-native wavekin is a rare find in Thavnair. Its propagating prowess, which in other lands presents a problem, is mitigated by its seeming inability to acclimatize to Thavnairian waters.364345200FalseFalse39570TrueFalseFalse
10641060A tutelary divinity to those who work in the quarry, this fish has teeth so strong as to shatter stone. Indeed, it chews rocks into pieces so fine that its body absorbs the particles and adopts their color.364355270FalseFalse39570TrueFalseFalse
10651061Well known in Thavnair for their brilliancy of color, these wavekin can be found in fresh water across the island. Unique to the species is that roughly half of its female population change sex over the course of their lifetimes.364365270FalseFalse29570TrueFalseFalse
10661062Open-mouthed swimming in Ksiroda is what this large wavekin is generally known for. Watching it, one would be forgiven for thinking it is attempting to drink the river dry.364385340FalseFalse29570TrueFalseFalse
10671063Guardian of the Wakeful Torana, this fearsome-looking fish suffers none attempting to slip into the city through waterways unseen.364395400FalseFalse29570TrueFalseFalse
10681064Due to both its habitat's proximity to the markets and its highly palatable flesh, this large wavekin fills the bellies of many of Radz–at–Han's citizens on a daily basis.364405700FalseFalse29572509TrueTrueTrue
10691065Sporting fiery fins, this wavekin is thought to be a wayward ingot sent flying up and out of the Great Work's forge and into the river in which it now calls home.364415340FalseFalse29570TrueFalseFalse
10701066As its nomenclature implies, this wavekin's long snout is its defining feature─and a killing machine. Its hydrodynamic shape allows the fish to dart through the waters at high speed and catch prey off guard.364425400FalseFalse29570TrueFalseFalse
10711067Oft mistaken for a pile of sunken treasure, this wavekin fetches a high price abroad. Visions of mountains of gil have drawn poachers to the creature's waters, though residents of Thavnair maintain a vigilant watch.364435340FalseFalse39570TrueFalseFalse
10721068This wavekin's already arresting azure and crimson tail grows even more brilliant when kissed by the nacre light of the moon. As such, it comes as little surprise that this fish is a great favorite in Radz–at–Han's wealthier circles.364445400FalseFalse39570TrueFalseFalse
10731069This eel's similarities to the fruit from which it takes its name are impossible to deny. This serves the wavekin just fine, however, as it uses its unique coloration to entice unsuspecting prey who just want a nice, wet banana.364465470FalseFalse39570TrueFalseFalse
10741070With its golden head, mottled scales, and overall rotundity, this wavekin bears something of a resemblance to Thavnair's beloved hamsa. Even the fish's darting, unpredictable movements are reminiscent of its land-dwelling namesake.364475400FalseFalse39570TrueFalseFalse
10751071The impossible-to-ignore cranial protrusion that is this wavekin's claim to fame─rather than being congenital─grows as the fish matures. According to locals, flowerhorns with exceptionally large bumps were anointed in the Font of Maya and thus portend fair tidings.364485340FalseFalse39570TrueFalseFalse
10761072This ferocious creature's viridescence perfectly matches the hues of its home, allowing it to position itself beneath surface-dwelling prey without being detected. Oral history would indicate that its violent predation is what drove even the most devout from the Font of Maya.364495470FalseFalse39570TrueFalseFalse
10771073This bright red wavekin dances across the sandy ocean floor and flits through coral reefs like a flickering aquatic flame. Indeed, schools of these creatures can turn any location into a veritable undersea chandelier.364505340FalseFalse19570TrueFalseFalse
10781074This puffer's resemblance to fruit was not lost on the taxonomist who had the pleasure of naming it. Its similarities to the papaya are more than skin-deep, in fact─for when it is detoxified and sun-dried, it makes for a surprisingly sweet treat.364515270FalseFalse19570TrueFalseFalse
10791075An oversized octopus that keeps to the waters surrounding Narunnair. It is fiercely protective of its territory, and even the most minor disturbance─whether intentional or accidental─will earn the offender and all in its vicinity a face full of ink.364525400FalseFalse19570TrueFalseFalse
10801076Between its haughty bearing and the seven long spines arching from its back that it uses to antagonize fishermen, one might be tempted to call this large wavekin a coxcomb.364535470FalseFalse19570TrueFalseFalse
10811077A sea monster with teeth as deadly and piercing as sharpened lances. Despite having every appearance of a sea-dweller, this serpentine creature is incapable of remaining underwater for long periods of time. As such, it keeps to shallow areas.364545700FalseFalse19572509TrueFalseTrue
10821078Small though it is, this shellkin produces a considerable amount of tasty soup stock for Garlemald. The lines present on its shell can shed light on environmental changes, thus making the clam of great interest to researchers.356065200FalseFalse29580TrueFalseFalse
10831079Not even the freezing temperatures of the Eblan Rime can keep this large wavekin from swimming its icy waters. The fatty deposits it uses to keep from becoming a fish-shaped icicle have the added benefit of making this trout so delicious, it can be enjoyed raw.364565200FalseFalse29580TrueFalseFalse
10841080A sedate and unobtrusive wavekin with close ties to the mollusk phylum, the animulus was thought by the Garleans' forebears to be a departed spirit manifesting in the world of the living, and has thus avoided trite comparisons to bellicose gods or capricious fae.364575200FalseFalse39580TrueFalseFalse
10851081The Empire's researchers studied, dissected, and analyzed this frosty organism in excruciating detail due to its fascinating ability to convert the water's ceruleum into energy.364585270FalseFalse39580TrueFalseFalse
10861082Thick, protective scaling hides a body as soft as candy floss, and just as toothsome. Oft used in regional delicacies, this wavekin would enjoy a great deal more popularity were it not such a monstrous pain to flense.364595100FalseFalse39580TrueFalseFalse
10871083Sprouting from this wavekin's body like rows of elegant horns are its stygian fins, which resemble naught so much as the imperial diadem. It is said that members of the royal family once fought to acquire this wavekin, that they might be first to present it to the emperor as a show of fealty.364605100FalseFalse29580TrueFalseFalse
10881084The imperial pleco's black-and-white striping allows it to blend in against the frosty metal of Garlemald's aqueducts, and has fooled many a predator. Alas, as these stripes can be mistaken for the pathway indicators on city streets, it has fooled many a citizen into tripping headlong into the waters as well.364615200FalseFalse29580TrueFalseFalse
10891085This translucent, cerulean catfish generally keeps to deeper waters, but will occasionally rise to the surface. Much more consistent is the alarmed reaction of the capital's citizens when one is sighted in the Stainless Course, as the wavekin bears every resemblance to an ice floe.364625270FalseFalse29580TrueFalseFalse
10901086This guppy's stunning tail is the color of a much-beloved star viewed from its moon. Naturally, the name for its species was conveyed to the Loporrits by a visitor familiar with Sharlayan taxonomy.364635200FalseFalse39590TrueFalseFalse
10911087The sight of this cichlid's muted blue and pale yellow scales brings to mind the interplay between shadow and moonlight. Said unique coloration has been found to shift according to ambient aetheric density on the lunar surface.364655270FalseFalse39590TrueFalseFalse
10921088This wavekin, with its dark, star-shaped eyes, appears forever on the verge of tears. It is said that it weeps for its long-lost brethren, who traveled to Etheirys's surface as meteoric messengers long ago.364665270FalseFalse39590TrueFalseFalse
10931089An ancient wavekin concept, this species was revived through equally ancient processes. Its odd coloration, however, is new─an apparent result of lackadaisical Loporrits breaking for second breakfast whilst they were meant to be overseeing the fish's reconstruction.364675340FalseFalse39590TrueFalseFalse
10941090This wavekin is capable of breaking down aetherochemical toxins to obtain the nutrients necessary to support itself. Those same toxins, however, degrade its mental faculties to such an extent that it can barely function, let alone swim straight.364685270FalseFalse89590TrueFalseFalse
10951091Within aetherochemical pools, this wavekin shines a purplish copper─most likely due to a chemical reaction with its metallic scales. Transferring the fish to a different environment thus changes its coloration completely.364705340FalseFalse89590TrueFalseFalse
10961092Do not be fooled by its wriggling tentacular mycelium─this tiny organism has no sentience whatsoever, and mimics the movements of creatures it lives amongst without even knowing that it does so. It synthesizes other organic matter equally unconsciously as it develops.364715340FalseFalse89590TrueFalseFalse
10971093One theory posits that one or more of these eons-old creatures was cast down to Hydaelyn via a chance encounter with a comet, and there spawned such wonders as the sand-dwelling Olgoi-Khorkhoi.364725700FalseFalse89592511TrueFalseTrue
10981094A parasitic wavekin found lurking in the crevices of the regotoise's large shell. Its resemblance to the pillars of Zodiark's imprisonment that lie scattered across the moon's surface gave rise to its needlessly grandiose name.364735340FalseFalse89590TrueFalseFalse
10991095This turtle's subtle shell allows it to become one with the bleak and barren lunar surface. Loporrits enjoy attempting to convince unsuspecting people that the moon itself is simply a large accretion of these turtles─though this is, of course, a fiction.364755400FalseFalse89590TrueFalseFalse
11001096It is the leaf-shaped dorsal fin that allows this creature to catch the wind and hop from island to floating island in Elpis. Some, however, are unable to ride the winds as well as others, and thus drop clean out of the sky to land on the ground, where they flop about impotently.364765340FalseFalse29610TrueFalseFalse
11011097When this multicolored wavekin leaps from the water's surface, its brilliant scales reflect sunlight through the misty spray in its wake, making it appear as if it is climbing a rainbow to the sky.364775340FalseFalse29610TrueFalseFalse
11021098This variety of golden loach was born quite by accident in the Cthonic Horns. Sadly, every attempt at registering its concept has been met with skepticism, as the wavekin is far too susceptible to predation.364785400FalseFalse29610TrueFalseFalse
11031099Created strictly for aesthetic purposes, this wavekin's glimmering scales cast a brilliant effect across the water's surface, rendering the fish's own beauty sadly dull by comparison.364795400FalseFalse29610TrueFalseFalse
11041100Stout and thick, this golden wavekin looks more like an ingot with fins than a fish. Residents of Elpis, however, do not ascribe any particular importance to gold, and thus the mangar's extravagance is largely lost on them.364805700FalseFalse29612513TrueFalseTrue
11051101What this wavekin lacks in size is made up for in silvery luster. However, as its shine is the product of the luminescent microbial parasites covering its scales rather than its natural coloration─a dull dirt brown─it is hard to credit the fish's creator for their aesthetic sensibilities.364815400FalseFalse39610TrueFalseFalse
11061102Remarkable even by ancient standards, this “flower among wavekin” is a great favorite in Elpis. Its original creator sought to test the limits of magic by creating the most vivid coloration possible─and is largely thought to have succeeded.364845400FalseFalse39610TrueFalseFalse
11071103With a name inspired by its distinctive shape, this preposterously thin and tall wavekin has an appetite for bugs, aquatic plants, and seeds, which it pulverizes into tiny particles with its impressive teeth.364855470FalseFalse39610TrueFalseFalse
11081104This green wavekin befittingly bears the name of “emerald” in the language of the ancients. There are hopes that a comparative study of the primeval bonytongue and this even more ancient creature will yield interesting results.356075400FalseFalse39610TrueFalseFalse
11091105This creature's many waving strands shine with pinpricks of light akin to countless stars. Indeed, any who dares capture it may now hold the fates of entire galaxies in their hands...364875470FalseFalse89600TrueFalseFalse
11101106Omicron records state that an advanced interstellar civilization bred these wavekin for sustenance. Whether by accident or design, the star eaters proliferated across world after world, and extinguished many a native population.364885540FalseFalse89600TrueFalseFalse
11111107Discovered by the Loporrits manning the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>, this cosmic crustacean bears a number of similarities to the common crayfish. This resemblance to creatures found in Hydaelyn's riverbeds is likely a case of convergent evolution rather than the result of innocent arthropods being systematically ejected into the sea of stars, however.364895470FalseFalse89600TrueFalseFalse
11121108With black-and-white coloration like unto that of a magitek monitor disabled by a sudden sandstorm, this creature is notable for its ability to mimic the magnetic turbulence of aetherochemical pools to disorient and snare its prey.364915540FalseFalse89600TrueFalseFalse
11131109At first blush, this wavekin appears to be naught more than a floating bag of bones. In reality, it has a large, translucent frame─occasionally made visible thanks to the suspect contents of aetherochemical pools─and relatively standard organs concealed within its skull.364925540FalseFalse89600TrueFalseFalse
11141110A creature whose origins can be traced back to the Dragonstar. Though this herbivore is relatively low on the food chain, its subsistence by means of riding aetheric wind currents across the stars to graze upon tree leaves was nonetheless impressive─until it was caught and unceremoniously grounded. 364945600FalseFalse89600TrueFalseFalse
11151111Similar to what men might call “chirurgeon fish,” these wavekin can be found attached to the scales of grown wyrms, nibbling away at the parasites upon which they feed and other detritus.364955540FalseFalse89600TrueFalseFalse
11161112Meteion made contact with these life-forms somewhere in the cosmos. One theory posits that they are all that remains of a once-sentient race whose mental faculties were obliterated through some arcane mischance.364965600FalseFalse89600TrueFalseFalse
11171113A predator capable of swallowing a dragon egg whole. With no such eggs available to it, it now mindlessly swims aetherochemical springs, jaw slack and mouth agape.364975600FalseFalse89600TrueFalseFalse
11181114The flecks of white on this wavekin's azure body sparkle as it moves. Its multiple layers of scales are not unlike a telescope, reflecting the image of galaxies located thousands of light-years away.364995600FalseFalse39600TrueFalseFalse
11191115Protruding red gills are the most aesthetically pleasing of this wavekin's many and varied respiratory organs, which allow it to survive in a variety of environs. Scholars insist that they are the result of direct exposure to highly concentrated aether following the collision of two celestial bodies, rather than a duller process such as evolution.365015600FalseFalse39600TrueFalseFalse
11201116Atrophied optic nerves force this creature to use the faint electricity encasing its body to map its surroundings. The pulsating frequency that results echoes to the deepest reaches of the cosmos like an endless dirge.365025600FalseFalse39600TrueFalseFalse
11211117Developed by the Ea to test the viability of returning to flesh-based bodies, this specimen was likely modeled after one of the few organic beings its creators managed to remember.365035600FalseFalse39600TrueFalseFalse
11221118As a satellite forever orbits its star, so too does this wavekin follow an elliptical trail around and around a pole perceptible only to its species. Should the fish veer too far from its orbit, it would surely perish.365055600FalseFalse39600TrueFalseFalse
11231119Capable of swallowing prey whole, this invertebrate and its digestive organs are enigmas wrapped in mystery, as no matter what it ingests, its weight never fluctuates. If any have discovered this creature's inner workings, doubtless they are no longer of this universe.365065540FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11241120Given its high polymer resinoid shell is so dense that it remains nigh impossible to open, some theorize that UFB-II is in fact a ship within which reside countless sentient─though nevertheless delicious─beings.365075540FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11251121This creature's name was no doubt inspired by its two chelae and its toxin-laced stinger, the three of which create a trident of pain. Its sweet, pleading eyes lull one into a false sense of security─the leading theory of how it came to terrorize and oppress those on its home world.365085600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11261122Unique in its remarkable ability to read the movements of the stars, this wavekin is capable of predicting which celestial body will next wither into nonexistence. At the point in time at which it was caught, it had been awaiting the arrival of a hapless fool who it knew would carry it across the stars.365095600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11271123A member of the seventh civilization with which Meteion came into contact, this many-legged entity's culture prizes the number of limbs one possesses above all else, seeing each as a mark of higher intellect. One can only imagine its despair at being fished up by a primitive organism with a mere four.365105540FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11281124A Loporrit was once nearly devoured whole after mistaking this cephalopod's tentacles for ears. They know not how fortunate they were to run screaming away when they did, for this wavekin has been observed digesting its prey slowly─and to all appearances, painfully─through its translucent body.365115600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11291125Their ability to twist the minds of men has inspired some to refer to these ultrabright cephalopods as “hallucination” aliens, though some of the specificity of their true name is lost in translation. They appear not dissimilar to an octopus in low-gravity pools, but one can only wonder what terrifying form they take in other environments─wonder, and pray that it is not bipedal.365125600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11301126The elongated proboscis protruding from its cylindrical torso allows this curious being to feast on stardust. Though it does not, by all accounts, eat Loporrits, one did claim to have a nightmare in which they were assailed by an evil carrot that looked eerily similar.365135600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11311127This tentacled wayfarer has for all intents and purposes become one with its aether-propelled carapace, so effective is it for travel between stars. Indeed, the creature flies through the cosmos at speeds nearing that of sound.365145600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11321128This intimidating ball of spindly spikes hides a soft underbelly which tastes a great deal like urchin. The taste is so similar, in fact, it lends credence to the theories which suggest Hydaelyn's urchins can trace their lineage to the sea of stars.365155600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11331129Once sentient and vaguely manlike, this creature accidentally transformed itself into a desiccated husk following a botched attempt at immortality. Now, it can do naught save drift sadly along the currents of the cosmos.365165600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11341130Its diminutive limbs theoretically allow this creature to walk on land, though it has long lost the need for such a skill following the destruction of its star. Should it ever find a place to call home again, perhaps it will regain the ability.365175600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11351131Characteristic of this octopus are its membranous limbs and entropically addled brain. The latter is only explicable if one accepts the absurd idea that this creature was once inside a region so dense that gravity prevents its very observation, and then was summarily cast out by forces unknown. As it has no memory of this─or anything whatsoever─the truth remains elusive.365185600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11361132Though it resembles naught so much as a free-floating eyeball, the Ea insist that this creature is in fact a mere appendage of an “extra-dimensional” entity with which they made contact during their “space-time exploration phase,” meant to keep an eye on the observable cosmos. Those familiar with said cosmos attest that in either case, it has likely “seen some things.”365195600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11371133With a bulbous head that tapers into an incongruously tiny back half, this creature is almost comedic. Do not let its curious design deceive, however, for it is said to be an ill omen, appearing only when a civilization's end draws nigh.365205600FalseFalse289600TrueFalseFalse
11381134This oddly proportioned, shark-like creature sails the wispy aether currents of the sea of stars on wings more expansive than it is long. Despite every appearance to the contrary, its physical composition has more in common with flora than the fauna it resembles.365215700FalseFalse289602511TrueTrueFalse
11391135Fascinating despite its repulsive countenance, this massive guitarfish creates weak electrical currents through the vibration of its gills─the potency of which vary depending on the speed it is moving. Reports of fishermen unwittingly bobbing their heads to the symphony of notes produced by this curious phenomenon led to the creature's present nomenclature.366795700TrueTrue09622509TrueTrueFalse
11401136This burly wavekin has grown to its gargantuan size by gorging itself on the bountiful nutrients found in the waters circulating from Unmoved Source Alpha. Astonishingly muscle-bound, it spends its days swimming against the tide, further embiggening itself to─one assumes─compensate for its fragile ego.366805700TrueTrue29562509TrueTrueTrue
11411137Capable of extending and flattening its earlike fins at amazing speed, this peculiar creature at times resembles a child throwing their hands over their ears in petulance. In turn, the children of Thavnair are careful not to cover their ears when being scolded by their elders, lest they be forced to endure a wholly different earful come dinner.366815700TrueTrue39632509TrueTrueFalse
11421138An amphibian with the terrible proclivity to swallow its prey whole─even should that prey be its equal in size. The sight of its wide-open mouth in the water is strikingly similar to that of the hippos known to inhabit the northern region of Thavnair.366825700TrueTrue39572509TrueFalseTrue
11431139Many an unsuspecting tooth has cracked upon this creature's scales, notorious for being harder than even the ice of the Rime. Simmering it for several hours, however, is said to have a transformative effect on the wavekin, allowing diners to masticate with molars intact.366835700TrueTrue39582509TrueFalseTrue
11441140This organism's name can be roughly translated to “tranquil bird.” It is said that dragonkind once cherished the gentle winds this creature flies upon, but none remain to appreciate the rare sight of a placid foun ahlm adrift on the aetherial breeze.366845700TrueTrue89602511TrueTrueTrue
11451141This curious cephalopod extends its limbs in often successful attempts to threaten those who approach. To wit, a brave Loporrit once attempted to stare it down in a clash of wills, but was tragically brought low when they could no longer bear the forbidding look of the creature's eyes and earlike protrusions.366855700TrueTrue289602511TrueTrueTrue
11461142So undisputably delectable is this squid that it is served in every restaurant and food stall found along the coasts of Thavnair. Whilst extolling its virtues when both fried and dried, locals often add that a dragoon from a distant land once purchased a veritable starship's worth.366865700TrueTrue19572509TrueFalseFalse
11471143A resourceful species of toad that conceals itself through camouflage, blending in with seeds on the riverbed. Considered ideal familiars, one must approach them with care, for they will sprout legs and flee the very moment they perceive a threat.366604950FalseFalse29570TrueFalseFalse
11481144An exceedingly unusual sphere of algae that glitters radiant as a crystal. The belief that pom-poms blessed by copious amounts of aether turn a beautiful shade of violet after death is one commonly held among mooglekind, which raises several questions both related and unrelated to the matter at hand.366625000FalseFalse34000TrueFalseFalse
11491145A white shade of coral harvested from the Near East. A group of sailors departing Yedlihmad once sneakily pocketed fragments of the reef to use as writing implements for a sudden voyage, and discovered how remarkable it was in the process. The chalk made from this coral soon took the world by storm.366635100FalseFalse09570TrueFalseFalse
