First sona I made. Everything I love about the (Adriatic) sea and seaside I put into this character.
Fishstick (or just Fish) is no specific species although he mostly looks like a wingless dragon. He/him or it/its pronouns for this guy.
• Can breathe in and out of water - sleeps on the bottom but sometimes comes out to the shore to warm up or eat.
• Changes color depending on the moon - during full moons his scales become pearlescent and have a slight glow, during eclipses he turns mostly black and dark red and green with brightly glowing white eyes and red markings.
• Color of scales also becomes slightly muted during winter and foul weather.
• Lower arms and hands aren't scaled but resemble a crab's claws, although softer and flexible. They harden over time and the now hard, brittle layer is shed every few months.
• Omnivore - eats sea critters but also seaweed and such. Big fan of human fast and junk food, will steal.
• Sticks to rocky coasts and never wanders into deep water for long as he's not exactly built for swimming.
• Collects shells, bones, driftwood, sea glass.
