Overview
Fish monsters usually take the form of various fish, or sea mammals with piscine properties (usually Cetaceans like whales and dolphins), though some other monsters also feature certain defining characteristic overlapped with the Sea Serpent Type, such as "Mermail Abyssmegalo", a Sea Serpent monster with an appearance of a humanoid shark, as well as "White Aura Bihamut", a Fish-type monster that features marine reptile characteristic that were usually associated with the Sea Serpents. Fish monsters are almost entirely WATER.
While there are relatively few pure Fish-centric series and archetypes, Fish monsters were historically associated with the "Umi" Field Spells and were thus often shared their support with other WATER-related Types like Sea Serpent and Aqua, in a similar vein to the Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Winged Beast types.
Gameplay-wise, Fish monsters tend to have a defensive effects revolving around field control, as well as supporting other monsters on the field. Low-Level Fish monsters have effects that swamp the field to help in Summoning powerful monsters, while high-level Fish monsters usually have powerful removal and/or disruption effects that make use of the momentum setup by the low-Level members. Many later supports of the Type also introduce and make use of banishment, banishing Fish to use them later for other effects, or dodging the opponent's effects.
