Fish

Fish is a blue creature type used for cards that depict any gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate animal that lacks limbs with digits. Included in this definition are Lampreys, and cartilaginous fishes like rays, and mantas. Related races are Leviathans and Merfolk. For a while sharks were also typed as fish, but this was later reverted.
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==
===Bloomburrow===
On Bloomburrow minnows are part of the catch of otterfolk, while the Flood Gar is a calamity beast that regularly drowns entire regions. There are no eels, likely because there are no oceans where they can spawn.
===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 a means of underwater transportation.

===Tarkir===
In the old timeline, the 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 draconic masters. Some of these can reach tremendous sizes, such as the <c>Ancient Carp</c>.
===Theros===
The Hippocampi of Theros are creatures that are half-horse and half-fish.
===Zendikar===
Many fishes of 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.
