** Gungans, including the notorious [[Alien Scrappy|Jar Jar Binks]]. Though they're more amphibian people.
** In the original trilogy, [[Punny Name|Mon Calamari]] like Admiral Ackbar ([[Memetic Mutation|"It's a TRAP!"]]) and [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari this dancer]. It seems odd, but they can squeeze those hands and feet into human-shaped boots and gloves as needed. From the same planet we get the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:QuarrenNEGAS.jpg Quarren], who are even more squidlike than Kit.
*** "Squidlike"? That's a [[Dungeons and& Dragons|Mindflayer]].
** The [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] has a number of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Aquatic_sentient_species aquatic sentients], most of whom are fishy in nature.
* ''[[Godzilla]] vs. Hedorah'' has a VERY odd and out of place scene where a man pictures humans with fish heads. It makes no sense at all, and is never mentioned again.
Line 127:
 
== Tabletop Games ==
* The locathah from ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'', consciously designed after the [[Creature from the Black Lagoon]]. The sahuagin are another example that in many settings were brought into being by Sekolah, the god of sharks.
** The ''Savage Species'' supplement introduced the [[Funny Animal|anthropomorphic animal]] template, which can be applied to any creature with the Animal type, including mundane fish.
** In 3E, every 1 in 100 sahuagin would be born looking like their hated enemies, the sea elves. Most of the team, these mutated sahuagin, called malenti, were [[Eats Babies|eaten by their own parents]]. Some of them are raised to be deep cover infiltrators for sahuagin, though.
Line 139:
* ''[[Fifty Fathoms]]'' has fish people, crab people, squid people, dolphin people, seal people and (villainous) octopus people.
* The Sea Folk, a playable race in ''[[Blue Rose]]'', are technically more like Dolphin People—they can't actually breathe underwater (but can hold their breath for an hour or more), aren't scaly, and are portrayed as graceful and elegant rather than repulsive. They can also live on land and interbreed with normal humans, although they need to immerse themselves in water daily and usually stick near the coasts.
* Along with the standard [[Dungeons and& Dragons|D&D]] sahuagin and locathah, ''Pathfinder'' has anglerfish-inspired ceratioidi and shark-like adaros.
 
 
Line 176:
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons Online]]'''s [[Noob Cave]] is crawling (or would that be swimming?) with sahuagin.
* ''[[Rift]]'' features Deep Ones as common [[Making a Splash|Water Plane]]-aligned foes. They look part gill-man, part crustacean.
* [[EarthboundEarthBound]]'s [[Swamps Are Evil|Deep Darkness]] has Manly Fish. And occasionally, his big brother.
* The Merian race from ''[[Lusternia]]''. They are decidedly non-human in appearance, being scaled, hairless, blue and finned, but are a highly [[Blue Skinned Space Babe|attractive]], intelligent and noble race with a proud history of scientific accomplishment. Interbreeding with humans has resulted in a few crossbreeds, some even having hair - but however diluted the Merian genealogy, all "real" Merians can breathe underwater.
* The [[X (video game)|X-Universe's]] Boron are squid people.
