Item Name: Angelfish

Category: Fishing - River - Fish
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: The Forest of Re-Creation
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Expert Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: Despite looking like a sea fish, they actually live in freshwater. When they are young they can live with other species but go with their own kind when older.

Authors In-Depth Description: there are actually many types of angelfish and not all of them are in this shape either but this is the one everyone associates with the name, the freshwater angelfish.

Item Location: The Snow Pool
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Expert Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: Not seen many toads? That's because they all died out, all except the albino ones. Once the underlings these guys survive by hiding in the snow.

Authors In-Depth Description: The only thing missing in this lower picture is the pink eyes which I will have in my design.

Item Name: Sunfish

Category: Fishing - Sea - Fish
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: The Snow Pool
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Expert Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: Sunfish have a very strange shape compared to other fish which seems almost like a cartoon design. This shape allows them to cut through the water easily.

Authors In-Depth Description: The Sunfish I have seen a few times in RPG video games with fishing in and so I think they are relatively well known. The one they usually show is the ocean sunfish although they often show it as being a simpler and more colourful design with yellow often being the colour of choice. I think I will follow this and do the same. Ironically enough, despite me saying this I can't seem to find a picture of a yellow one but I do have some examples of various colours in the second example.

Item Name: Minnow

Category: Fishing - Pond - Fish
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: SugarLick Mountains
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Expert Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: The minnow is a little fish that can come in many colours. It helps to brighten up the wintery environment but I don't think that bodes well for them.

Authors In-Depth Description: I chose the rosy red minnow as my inspiration because it looks so pretty and colourful. It also isn't common for fish to be this colour so it should be more identifiable.

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: This fish has a large bump on its head as it is always unable to see and crashes into things. What, did you think it was easy to see swimming in pure snow?

Authors In-Depth Description: No comment.

Item Name: Grape Jellyfish

Category: Fishing - Pond - Other Fish and Fruit Fish
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)
(A Fruit Fish is a special kind of fish that resembles a fruit and is rarer and harder to catch. There is one per fruit and therefore generally one per location)
 
Item Location: The Forest of Re-creation
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Expert Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: A jellyfish that tastes like grapes. The end combination is like grape jelly and makes a delicious dessert. Grape jellyfish is a very popular treat in this area.

Authors In-Depth Description: There is no such thing as a grape jellyfish of course but I am making a fish for each fruit in the game so here it is. Below is the best example I could find of a grape-like jellyfish but mostly it will be of my own design. I was thinking of having it similar to the example below but it would have grapes down its stingers as well, making it look pretty unique.

Category: Fish - River and Pond - Amphibian
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: The Forest of Re-Creation
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Expert Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: Newts are like little Salamanders. They are very cute but some are poisonous and brand bright colours. This however encourages us to have them as exotic pets.

Authors In-Depth Description: I picked a very colourful and poisonous newt as my inspiration for my in-game design as it makes it more identifiable by its bright colours and more interesting.

Category: Fishing - River - Amphibian
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: HarshSands Desert
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Expert Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: Oh it seems you caught a river reptile. Damn its big! Trying to steal my fish are you? Not on my watch! Who's laughing now? ME! HAHA!

Authors In-Depth Description: There are many types of salamander but I chose the Japanese Giant Salamander because it is a large reptile and I don't have any of those in the game yet. It's time to start catching larger prizes at this point of the game. I will also design it a little differently to appear more strong and appropriate to live in the desert as it does in the game. I only have so many well known creatures to use in the game so some liberties have to be made about where they live in the game world.

Item Name: Angler Fish

Category: Fishing - Sea - Fish
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: The Forest of Re-Creation
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Expert Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: This fish is so called as it uses a shining light as bait to lure unsuspecting fish close enough to eat. How ironic you caught it doing the same thing.

Authors In-Depth Description: Although the real Angler fish looks like the first example below, they are often shown with more exaggerated features such as the 2nd example below. I will likely use a mixture between the two for my in-game design.

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: This little fish may not seem special but it can pucker its lips to squirt water at bugs by the pond-side to make them fall into the water to eat.

Item Name: Pond Frog

Category: Fishing - Pond - Amphibian
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: The Forest of Re-Creation
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Expert Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: Well this is unexpected. Its a pond frog! It can't have been easy to get this thing to bite your line. Did you use a fly as bait?

Authors In-Depth Description: There are many kinds of frog but I decided to pick the green tree frog due to its easy to identify colour and the relevance it has to the environment of trees which is lives in as this is also appropriate to the Forest of Re-Creation which it resides in the game. A plain green frog is also often the visage of a general frog in video games as well. The frog is an amphibian and likely one of the only ones if not the only one in the game so it is in the other category.

Item Name: Swordfish

Category: Fishing - Sea - Shark
(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: Sugarlick Mountains
 
Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Expert Fishing Rod
 
Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: Not a fish but a relative of the shark family. It is easily recognisable due to its iconic long sharp sword-like nose that it uses to fight other Swordfish.

Authors In-Depth Description: Swordfish can come in many colours and patterns although they are the same species but the blue and white one shown in the examples below is the best known version so this will be the design I will use.
