Fish are consumable items for pets, acquired through trading and fishing. Fish may temporarily transform your pet into a monster, permanently transform your pet into another type of pet, or give it straight boosts to specific properties for a limited period of time. Fish may also contain items of any rarity (all the way up to Unique) and consumables for the player.

Fish size

3 sizes of transforming fish can be caught, and the size determines the duration of the effect. The margin of time from when the fish gets hooked to the time the player clicks to pull apparently correlates with the size of fish caught. Catching a fish right after it gets hooked appears to increase the chances of a Big or even Giant fish being hooked.

  • Normal fish containing no prefix in their name will transform your pet for 120 seconds.
  • Big fish containing the "Big" prefix in their name will transform your pet for 3600 seconds.
  • Giant fish can also be caught, but are proven to be very elusive. Giant fish have the ability to transform your pet permanently into what ever the giant fish is (example: Giant Ice Angel: Ice Elemental)

(Note: when you use a Giant fish you can mistakenly change it back into your original pet by transforming the pet two times on the same transformation; losing the effect of the giant fish and you would have to catch another one for the same effect.)
