{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|U=34|B=2|R=1|UR=1|GU=2|M=1|A=1}} {{stats|Fish creation|U=4|WU=1|UR=1|state=collapsed}} as of ''[[Murders at Karlov Manor]]'' }} {{for|the Deck Archetype|Vintage Fish deck}} {{TOCright}} '''Fish''' is a [[blue]] [[creature type]] used for any gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate animal that lacks limbs with digits. Included in this definition are Lampreys, and cartilaginous fishes like sharks, rays, and mantas. Related race are [[Leviathan]]s and [[Merfolk]]. The first creature to bear the type Fish was <c>Manta Ray</c> in ''[[Weatherlight]]'' (though the <c>Devouring Deep</c> from ''[[Legends]]'' was later issued errata to become Fish as well). ==Storyline== ===Dominaria=== A ''devouring deep'' was under the command of the [[wizard]] [[Coldraith]] of [[Golthonor]]. In the year 1281 by the [[Reckoning of the Sages of Minorad]], the creature attacked people led by the [[Marked Cleric]]. [[Caliphear the Nightmare]] and [[Altair of Coloni]] forced it to reveal its master was Coldraith. The devouring deep was afraid of <c title="merfolk assassins">Merfolk Assassin</c>. ''Desert rays'' are sand-colored creatures that inhabit the [[Sukurvian Desert]]. They are forty feet long and are related to <c>manta ray</c>s. In [[prerevisionist]] continuity they were used by the [[Sand Warriors]] for transportation. On [[Otaria]], people used the <c>Slipstream Eel</c> as means of underwater transportation. ===Innistrad=== When [[Emrakul]] was drawn to [[Innistrad (plane)|Innistrad]] by [[Nahiri]], several fishermen found themselves fused to their prey, creating large abominations that roamed the sea. ===Ixalan=== The Stormwreck Sea between [[Ixalan (plane)|Ixalan]] and Torrezon is home to several gigantic forms of fish, like the <c>Fleet Swallower</c> which is sometimes mistaken for an island. ===Kamigawa=== <c>Skyswimmer Koi</c> swim among the clouds of [[Kamigawa]]. ===Mercadia=== The swamps of Mercadia are home to the <c>Quagmire Lamprey</c>. ===Mirrodin=== Several fishes on Mirrodin were also airborne. Most lived near the [[Quicksilver Sea]], but many were driven from their homes when the plane became phyrexianized. ===Rath=== The [[Rootwater]] on [[Rath]] was infested with <c title="piranhas">School of Piranha</c> and <c title="sharks">Hammerhead Shark</c>. ===Ravnica=== Electric eels live in the sewers of [[Ravnica]]'s [[Undercity]].(<ref name="Testing">{{DailyRef|magic-story/testing-dark-waters-2018-10-17|Testing the Dark Waters|[[Nicky Drayden]]|October 17, 2018}}</ref> Fish are also a favorite of the [[Simic]] in their creation of [[Krasis]]. ===Shandalar=== <c>Kapsho Kitefins</c> are a breed of flying fish that terrorize the people near the Kapsho Sea. ===Tarkir=== In the old timeline, the [[Zombie|zombified]] remains of large anglerfish could be found in the swamps of the [[Sultai]]. These fish preyed on humans. Fish are cultivated in the new timeline by the [[Ojutai]] clan as food for their [[Dragon|draconic]] masters. Some of these can reach tremendous sizes, such as the <c>Ancient Carp</c>. ===Theros=== The Hippocampi of [[Theros (plane)|Theros]] are creatures that are half-[[horse]] and half-fish. ===Zendikar=== Many fishes of [[Zendikar (plane)|Zendikar]] do not only live in the water but can also be found living in the sky. One example of these airborne kinds of fish is the <c>Cloud Manta</c>, which breeds in the ruins found across the skyscape of Zendikar and is sometimes tamed by the local [[merfolk]] as a mount. Another is the <c>Windrider Eel</c>, which is sometimes used as a mount by [[kor]] skyfishers. ==Creature Update== Creature types changed into Fish include: *'''Dandân''' (<c>Dandân</c>) *'''Devouring-Deep''' (<c>Devouring Deep</c>) *'''Eel''' (<c>Electric Eel</c>) *'''Island-Fish''' (<c>Island Fish Jasconius</c>) *'''Shark''' (<c>Giant Shark</c>) (reverted with ''[[Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths]]'') ==Gallery== <gallery> File:MantaConcept.jpg|Manta concept by [[Aleksi Briclot]] later used for <c>Cloud Manta</c>. </gallery> ==Tokens== {{fish tokens|header=y}} ==Notable Fish== ;Ravnica *[[Morska]] ==Trivia== *<c>Elusive Krasis</c> is a Fish [[Mutant]] and <c>Bounding Krasis</c> is a Fish [[Lizard]]; both are the only multicolor Fish and the only Green Fish. **<c>Quagmire Lamprey</c>, and <c>Gurmag Angler</c> are the only [[black]] Fish. **<c>Skyreach Manta</c> is the only Artifact and colorless Fish. *Fish are the source for [[Fishliver Oil]]. ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Creature types|Races}} [[Category:Fish]]
