[Lo-W4] Shadow Feesh I

What even are these?

Appearance:

Shadow Feesh (I have absolutely no idea for their name lmao, maybe something will come up later when I finish this) are completely black, or rather, take on the same color as your shadow. They can take on the appearance of any other fish the Grifix has seen, but they themselves have a rather loose resemblance to a shark. They also feature that sharp head fin, although with a little add-on to it and have tiny side fins. The fins look like fins and seem to be see-through, but they aren't. They are solid and are actually made out of the same material as the body.

 

Habitat:

... Your shadow :D
It's not quite clear how you can attract them, but they only seem to live in your shadow, not in an actual body of water. But you need to have done something to a body of water in order to attract them. At least, all documented cased of having a Shadow Feesh living in your shadow reported that they had done something to a body of water. They don't necessarily seem to be bad though...?

Diet:

It is completely unknown as to what they feed on. But once you attracted them, you cannot seem to get rid of them, so they must be feeding off of something.

Miscellania:

I will openly admit, I have no idea what I was doing here, but as I kept thinking about them, I feel like they are more a disease than an actual fish. You're welcome.
Also, somehow, no Grifix who was infected by this has ever lived long enough to see the full palette of effects a Shadow Feesh can have.
These lil things feed on a Grifix's emotions I believe. I'm not 100% sold on that though. Sorry for giving you such strange things to work with this time ^^"

Grifix Use:

Grifix don't use them. In fact, they prefer to stay away from them, but there are some Grifix who attract them and bring them back to the settlement one way or another. They don't seem to be infectuous, but it's still somewhat uncanny, seeing a fish jump through another Grifix's shadow. Tiny fish are somewhat accepted since you can easily convince yourself that you didn't see that at all, but try to ignore a Sneake jumping around in a shadow, or even The Lonely Serpent. The shadow has to expand in order for the Lonely Serpent to jump around the shadow. That looks especially creepy. Sometimes, it seems like they jump into another shadow, but they will always return to their "host".

 

Legends and Rumors:

There's one about a Grifix who was taken over by a Shadow Feesh because they were completely surrounded by their shadow, however they did that, and like, aren't you technically completely surrounded by your shadow every night? Weird story.
