| This article is about an older version of DF. |
- (For the activity, see Template:L)
Although there is no exact game definition of fish, for simplicity anything that may be Template:L is categorized as "a fish" in this wiki, including Template:Ls and Template:Ls. Technically, the game treats these as Template:L, but unlike true vermin they are a welcome Template:L source, and are not hunted by cats (unless they are in suitably shallow water), but must be caught by Template:Ls with the Template:L Template:L enabled. However, as with all vermin, they appear spontaneously (aka "spawn") in any natural water environment and most artificially constructed ones.
(The z-status' stocks screen defines certain (dead) creatures as fish/raw fish. These are subject to Template:L/Template:L).
Certain larger species are also typically defined as fish even though they are treated as regular Template:Ls by the game, for instance Template:L and Template:L, among others. These larger fish may not be caught by fisherdwarves, but must be killed in combat. They can also be air-drowned by reducing the water they are in to 4/7 or less, like all fish. These aquatic monsters can interrupt dwarfs' activities and will gladly attack and kill given half a chance. In Template:L Template:L, they can come in Template:L and Template:L varieties (which can move on land, among other Template:L surprises).
Template:Ls are the only water vermin that cannot be fished.
If eaten uncooked fish will leave a bone unless noted otherwise below.[Verify]
While some vermin fish move across the map in small packs due to the [CLUSTER_NUMBER] creature token, others such as shad have been observed to migrate biannually in 'salmon runs,' filling an entire river with many fish on each tile. This is caused by a combination of the [CLUSTER_NUMBER:1:10] creature token and the [BIOME:OCEAN_TEMPERATE] and [BIOME:RIVER_TEMPERATE_*] Template:L.
