Submariner — Sea Life

Tinjaw Pollock

common

1–3 SP

A plain, sturdy pollock with a dull gray lower jaw that looks stamped from scrap metal. It is not glamorous, but neither are emergency rations, and both keep people moving.

Tinstripe Anchovy

common

1–3 SP

A bright anchovy marked by a dull stripe like tin under deck lights. It is too small to impress anyone, but a pan full of them can quiet a hungry room.

Tinstripe Dartfish

common

1–2 SP

The Tinstripe Dartfish is a quick little streak of silver that darts through pressure eddies and vanishes under hull shadows. Its narrow body gives it almost no salvage value, though bored deckhands sometimes keep the brightest stripe as a luck token.

Tinwake Anchovy

common

1–3 SP

A narrow anchovy that flashes like cheap tin when it turns. It is rarely valuable, but a school of them can make the sonar screen sparkle.

Tombmoss Tilapia

common

0–3 SP

Soft mossy markings spread across this patient gray tilapia.

Tombstone Tang

common

1–3 SP

Its gray slab-shaped body bears markings worn smooth by ancient currents.

Tombstone Tetra

common

1–3 SP

A slate-dark tetra marked with pale little grave shapes. Superstitious crews count the markings after a bad dive and pretend the number does not mean anything.

Tombstone Tilapia

common

0–3 SP

Its slablike dorsal fin is scratched with lines that look disturbingly like names.

Treasurefleck Tetra

common

1–3 SP

A tiny tetra dusted with gold flecks bright enough to start arguments. Sadly, the shine is all scale and no spendable coin.

Treasurejaw Trout

uncommon

5–14 SP

A sturdy trout with coin-bright plates set along its jaw. It bites hooks, fingers, and any theory that fish cannot be greedy.

Trick-or-Treat Tetra

common

1–3 SP

It follows divers for snacks, then nips their gloves when the treats run out.

Tricktide Tench

common

0–3 SP

Candy-striped fins and a wicked grin make this tench look permanently up to something.

Umbrafin Sardelle

common

1–3 SP

A little sardelle with dark fins that vanish first in low light. The body follows, unless the cook gets lucky with the net.

Unsinkable Lanternfish

rare

30–60 SP

A reinforced lanternfish with pale hull-like sides and a lure that refuses to go dark. Crews follow it only when the alternative is worse.

Vampire Fangtooth

uncommon

6–14 SP

Its polished fangs puncture steel bait tins and leave two neat holes behind.

Vampire Fangtooth Fry

common

1–3 SP

Its dramatic baby fangs are far more frightening than its bite.

Vampirefang Needlefish

uncommon

5–16 SP

A long needlefish with red-edged fins and fanglike teeth that flash before impact. The meat is lean, but the jaw is what the crew remembers.

Velvet Cabin Cuttlefish

uncommon

5–15 SP

A burgundy cuttlefish decorated like a private cabin no one can book anymore. Its ink smells faintly of varnish and saltwater velvet.

Velvet Maw Perch

uncommon

4–12 SP

Velvet Maw Perch are slow, stubborn fish with dark lips soft enough to look harmless until the jaw closes. Their gold-edged fins and dense meat make them a respectable uncommon catch, especially near warm wreck pockets.

Velvet Sonar Ray

uncommon

5–15 SP

A dark ray with pale sonar rings across velvet wings. It moves so quietly that most crews notice the echo before the fish.

Velvetfin Ray

uncommon

6–16 SP

A dark ray with velvet fins and faint starry veins. It glides so quietly that sonar seems to notice it late out of embarrassment.

Venom Sac

common

5–12 SP

Venom Sacs must be cut free gently and stored far from anything the crew plans to keep alive. Their amber toxin can be diluted into bait, medicine, or weapon wash depending on who is holding the vial and how honest they feel about the word diluted.

Ventdust Silverside

common

1–3 SP

A silverside dusted with minerals from warm vents. Shake it gently and it glitters like cheap stage powder.

Ventlace Betta

uncommon

6–14 SP

Ventlace Bettas wear fins like torn lace burned at the edges by warm vent water. They are too pretty for the pan until supplies run low, at which point beauty becomes soup.

Victorian Velvet Goby

common

1–3 SP

A squat goby dressed in burgundy patches and brass dots like upholstery scraps. Historians hate admitting it is edible; cooks hate admitting it is handsome.

Violet Maelstrom Tuna

rare

24–58 SP

A muscular tuna that travels the outer rim of pressure whirlpools, its violet flank stripes curling like storm bands. Landing one means the crew crossed water that wanted to twist the boat sideways.

Voidlace Oarfish

rare

28–58 SP

The Voidlace Oarfish drifts in long black curves, trailing pale fins like torn ceremonial lace. Old crews say it appears where the water has forgotten which way is up.

Voltaic Glassfin

uncommon

6–16 SP

The Voltaic Glassfin carries blue-violet charge through a nearly transparent body. It snaps its fins like tiny electrodes when netted, leaving the deck smelling faintly of rain and overworked wiring.

Watertight Door Loach

common

1–3 SP

A long, slippery loach banded like steel watertight doors, this fish squeezes through gaps that should be sealed forever. Its scales are tougher than they look, and it thrashes hard against the hook. Military crews treat it as a small lesson in pressure, hinges, and what happens when a barrier fails.

Waveline Scup

common

1–3 SP

A broad little scup with faint wave lines in its scales. It is common, edible, and wonderfully unambitious.

Webveil Guppy

common

1–3 SP

A pale guppy whose fins look draped in delicate black webbing. It gathers where the water is dusty with old plankton and gives the science bay a quick read on stale currents.

Werewolf Wolffish Fry

common

1–3 SP

A shaggy fringe of fins makes this juvenile look fierce under a full moon.

Whalefall Butterfish

uncommon

7–16 SP

Whalefall Butterfish graze around old bone fields, turning decay into rich pale flesh. They are gentle, valuable, and a little haunted, which has never stopped a hungry sub crew from cooking them.

Whalefall Minnow

common

1–2 SP

A pale minnow often found near old bones on the seafloor. It feeds quietly where giants ended, which makes the catch feel heavier than it is.

Wharfshadow Dace

common

1–3 SP

A quiet harbor fish that keeps the color of pilings and old rope shadows. It is not impressive, but its steady presence tells a crew they are still close enough to civilization to remember breakfast.

Whisperbell Angler

uncommon

7–16 SP

An ornate angler whose lure rings like a tiny bell in the water. The sound is almost comforting until something answers.

Whisperfin Dab

common

1–3 SP

A small flat dab with fins so soft they barely stir the silt. Crews use its arrival as a sign that the water has gone quiet enough to listen back.

Wicktail Goby

common

1–2 SP

A little goby with a tail filament that glows like a candle wick. The light is weak but stubborn, the kind of signal that makes the deep feel occupied.

Wireless Signal Sardine

common

1–3 SP

This sardine flickers with pale signal-like lines when startled, a weak little pulse that makes radios complain. It gathers around corroded antenna scraps and broken telegraph coils, nibbling minerals from the copper. The crew calls it common; the science bench calls it rude but useful.

Wireless Spark Eel

uncommon

5–15 SP

Copper bands around this eel crackle with little blue sparks. It tangles itself in old signal debris and makes every radio nearby sound haunted.

Witchbone Wrasse

uncommon

6–16 SP

An ornate wrasse patterned with pale bone arcs over green and violet scales. Its fins shed harmless glittering dust that makes lab filters complain for hours.

Witchbrew Pufferfish

uncommon

5–13 SP

Its swollen belly churns with harmless green and purple bubbles.

Witchbroom Goby

common

0–2 SP

Its stiff tail brushes sand from shells as it darts between stones.

Witchhat Blenny

common

1–3 SP

A crooked dorsal fin gives this mischievous blenny the profile of a tiny sea witch.

Witchhat Wrasse

common

1–3 SP

A tall triangular dorsal fin gives this wrasse its unmistakable silhouette.

Witchhour Whiting

common

1–3 SP

Its scales turn deepest violet at the stroke of midnight.

Witchlight Smelt

common

1–3 SP

A violet-silver smelt freckled with green sparks that flare near chemical seepage. It is small enough for the skillet and strange enough for the microscope.

Witchlight Whiting

common

1–3 SP

Its crooked dorsal fin glows like a witch's lamp whenever the Halloween current turns cold.

Wraithwake Wahoo

uncommon

6–15 SP

A pale spectral wake clings to this fish even when it rests.

Zombie Surgeonfish

uncommon

5–13 SP

Scarred green scales continually mend around its razor-sharp tail spine.
