Opinicus Fish

The Opinicus Fish, formerly known as Piranha, is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI. It is only encountered during Sabin's and Cyan's first trip down Baren Falls.
== Stats ==
== Battle ==
The fish attack in a specific pattern—when two are killed, three more spawn, then two more when those three are killed. The pattern repeats for a minute of real time, and once all the fish are killed after the minute mark, the Rhizopas spawns.
===Strategy===
Defeating the Opinicus Fish is not difficult, but since they respawn repeatedly, the best course of action is to kill all but one of them, then wait for a minute to pass, and then kill it to fight the Rhizopas.
