to be consumable loot by Human mains. They only get the [Pancake Camouflage] ability late-game. They were relatively new to the meta, being playable during the Paleocene Expansion. Some dataminers consider this as a Perciform subguild.

## Notable Builds

### Halibut

Among the largest playable Teleost builds in the meta,The Halibut is a flatfish build belonging to the Flounder guild, a build that is often underrated because it is constantly griefed by Human mains.But with a weight of 230 kg (Pacific build) or 300 kg (Atlantic build), this build can be a hard matchup for Human fishers, making [Commercial Fisher] one of the deadliest playstyles. Its weight class is also the reason why it has such a high Health stat. Despite its bulky size, it has a good Mobility stat.This build also has two basic abilities [Pancake Camouflage], which eliminates its weak point and provides a significant Stealth increase aside from its camouflage.The Pacific variant has the [Color Change] ability for increased Stealth.The other ability, [Top Eyes], allows it to see easily upwards. Instagimp, A-tier.

### Fluke

Flukes, also known as Summer Flounders because of their habit of switching to coastal servers every summer.At 15 pounds, this build is fairly bulky.This build belongs to the lefteye flounder guild, within the Flatfish guild, a guild known to be looted by Human mains.Aside from burrowing and speccing into [Pancake Camouflage], this build also has the [Color Change] ability.They also have a good Power stat and decent Mobility. A-tier.

### Drab Sole

One of the few builds that can enter freshwater servers due to their [Adaptive Gills],as well as one of the few flatfish builds that are not loot for Human mains,instead speccing into the support class,this build can reach 1 kg in weight and still retains the typical skillset of flatfish builds.Held back from higher tiers since they still have to deal with other gankers, so its basically C-tier at best.
