Description:
> This freshwater fish creates rainbows whenever it breaches the surface.
Fishing log:
> When this multi-colored 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.
Description:
> These tiny fish spend a deal of time in the open sky, almost as if they wish to have been born birds instead.
Fishing log:
> It 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.
Description:
> A freshwater fish whose scales gleam with an uncommon luster.
Fishing log:
> This 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.
Description:
> This fish is best appreciated by gazing upon the water in which it swims, so there is little use in trying to get a good look at it─or even reading this text.
Fishing log:
> Created 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.
Description:
> Some might say this fish is made of money. They would be wrong.
Fishing log:
> Stout 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.
Description:
> A king among mangars, and lord of the waters of Rumination’s Ramble.
Fishing log:
> Even more lustrous than one’s average mangar, the planetes was so named by a taxonomist of some repute, who marked the transient light it cast up to the surface as it wandered through Rumination’s Ramble.
Description:
> A freshwater fish sporting a fine array of pigments─presumably the maximum amount possible without causing pain to onlookers. That seems like something the ancients would do.
Fishing log:
> Remarkable 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.
Description:
> This impressive specimen can be found lingering among the aquatic vegetation in the lower Hungering Gardens.
Fishing log:
> With 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.
Description:
> A small, pale fish with a snout that is hard to ignore. Testing to determine whether it is self-conscious has thus far been inconclusive.
Fishing log:
> What 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.
Description:
> An ancient fish with a green body.
Fishing log:
> This 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.
