Poor Image: Flying Seafood Special

Yeah too dark... VIII and Lost Odyssey's Sand Fish (They swim in sand then pop up out of the sand and float after you do enough damage.) would be good if I could find a good shot.

The first frame of this◊ maybe?

I cant make heads or tails of that one.

It fits, but it'd probably help if you point us to the first frame rather than a jittery Ani Gif :)

It's an enemy that rolls along the ground, and then sort-of unfolds into a fish that swims forward through the air.

Still, There's got to be better pictures of this trope out there.

I don't see how that's better than my ZOMBIE WHALE.

I was hoping to see something more fish-y in a similar setup, however. A giant carp or something.

Or my squadron of shrimp.

It's not really better than the whale (although I do prefer having a normal-looking fish instead of something zombie-looking) but they're both better than the shrimp.

Despite the name, the trope is about living animals, not literal seafood. The shrimp would just be misleading.

Post 26: There are some LPs/walkthroughs around. I would search but it's on my To Play list.

Fish in the air. I'm fine with the current picture because that what they are. The whale is okay too but you know what? Leave the current picture and put the rest on Image Links. There isn't anything damage being done here.

The trope is not "fish in the air". RL flying fish do not actually fly.

Depicting a fish out of the water flying through the air? Well fine, use the video game whale then, that's the most obviously misplaced floating sea creature if flying fish are too realistic.

It's not that they're "too realistic". They don't fly, they glide. Like flying squirrels don't fly. They're just called that.

The "damage being done" is that the image does not represent the trope. I guess it's not completely wrong, because they are aquatic creatures out of the water, but it's significantly wrong. The flavor is completely wrong.

The trope isn't "fish flying through air," it's "fish swimming through air."

Although the Flying Whale can do nicely too.

For the second link, just copy/paste it into your browser and add .jpg at the end.

However, I have no idea about copyright or whatever.

I like the flock of fish image a lot.

They're both too blurred and dark, though they show the "flying" better than the other images, IMO.

The flock of fish is good – does it need cropping, or is it fine as a card?

The flock of fish should be fine as the entire card.

Clock is set.

My vote goes to the flock of fish.

Alright, the clock's up, and the flying fish card has the most votes, so the artwork from it is cropped and added to the page along with a redlink to the game and the tag. I also recycled the old caption, and added the suggestions to the Image Links page. Locking up.
