Fish People: Difference between revisions

 

 

'''Mullroy''': ''[Sarcastically]'' Ohh, so fish-people, by dint of being [[Fantastic Racism|fish-people, automatically aren't as disciplined as non-fish-people?]]<br />

'''Murtogg''': It seems contributory, is all I'm saying.|''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: At World's End''}}

** This has more to do with Jones's bitterness towards Calypso than the ship itself, however - when {{spoiler|Will}} replaces him as captain, {{spoiler|he retains his humanity all the way through to his post-credits reunion with Elizabeth.}}

* Although we never see the title monster in ''[[Cthulhu (film)|Cthulhu]]'', the protagonist does encounter these creatures in a pitch-dark tunnel beneath [[Town with a Dark Secret|Rivermouth]].

* ''[[Dagon]]'' (2001), an adaptation of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s ''[[The Shadow Over Innsmouth]]''.

* The titular monsters from ''[[Humanoids From The Deep]]'' are of the mutated fish variety of Fish People.

* The [[Slayers]] novels feature this too (obviously, since the anime was based of them). There are apparently several varieties of fish people of varying degrees of icthyism, but Nunsa, the one who appears in the first novel, takes the cake; talking and walking around on land are his only concessions to the "people" part of the trope. When Zolf tells him to kiss Lina to gross her out, he comments that he's considered the most desirable mate in his school (the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|best catch]], you might say), then sits down and waits patiently. When quizzed, he claims he's waiting for the eggs, since he's not sure what kissing is, but is vaguely aware it's related to mating.

* Marsh-wiggles from ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]''. [http://narnia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Narnia_Wiki WikiNarnia] describes them as having "green-grey straw-like hair, large ears, long legs and arms, webbed hands with long fingers...hard webbed feet, similar to those of ducks...a muddy complexion and greenish skin." Oh, and they're also [[Planet of Hats|an entire race of]] [[The Eeyore|Eeyores]]--the only one we meet, Puddleglum, is seen as a [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]] by his fellow Marsh-wiggles, and ''he'' has lines like:

"The bright side of it is, that if we break our necks getting down the cliff, then we're safe from being drowned in the river."<br />

"And you must always remember there's one good thing about being trapped down here: It'll save funeral expenses." }}
