Line 14:
[[Our Mermaids Are Different|Merfolk]] can have a similar style, but fail the critical "has legs" check.... most of the time. Since many Fish People appear somewhat reptilian, [[Lizard Folk]] and [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]] are also related tropes. Expect them to create breathtaking [[Underwater City|Underwater Cities]].
 
Fish People are a subspecies of [[Petting Zoo People]]. [[Super -Trope]] to [[Shark Man]].

== Live Action TV ==
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' has famously featured the [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S9 E3 The Sea Devils|Sea Devils]], as well as a more literal kind of Fish People in [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S4 E5 The Underwater Menace|The Underwater Menace]]. The new series has the [[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/S4 E6 The Doctors Daughter|Hath]], which are definitely more human-like, and the [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S31 E6 The Vampires of Venice|Saturnynians]], fish-like aliens with insectoid exoskeletons.
** The Expanded Universe has the Krill and the Selachians, as well as one-time [[Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine)|Doctor Who Magazine]] companion Destrii.
* The ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "Go Fish" had one of these, where the swim team [[Lego Genetics|magically mutates]] into fish dudes due to their coach giving them illegal, soviet fish-based steroids. We know, it makes no sense. Unusually for monsters in a Buffy episode, they all lived [[Happily Ever After]] in the ocean.
Line 151:
* The Zora from ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games. They're actually [http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Zora much better looking] than most fish people.
* Rikuo Aulbath and the other mermen ([[Last of His Kind|the few that are left]]) from ''[[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]]''.
** Rikou is named after Ricou Browning, the stuntman who played the [[Creature From the Black Lagoon (Film)|Creature From the Black Lagoon]] in underwater sequences, as a [[Shout -Out]].
* ''[[War Craft]]'' has the murlocs and other subraces.
* The Argonians from ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' are [[Lizard Folk]] with some fish-like features.
