Veil Fish
Developed by Darius Baer
Price: Tier 4Habitat: Coastal salt water. In the Hollow Sea, primarily around the coast of Faldrass. Veil fish travel in large schools.
Lifespan and Development: The average lifespan of a veil fish is between 8 and 10 arcs, reaching sexual maturity after approximately 2 arcs. An average veil fish is approximately 18 inches in length.
Diet: The veil fish eats mostly insects and smaller fish.
Temperament: The veil fish is placid.
Abilities: The veil fish are able to conceal themselves by having their scales reflect the surrounding terrain. Only when they die do they revert to their normal colourings.
Weaknesses: Camouflage is their only defense, so if they are spotted, they are easily caught by predators. As such, it is harder to spot a veil fish than to catch it.
