| CarpLake resident. Gentle pull — the reel-rhythm tutorial. | Uncommon | All day | Dough | ¥18 | Lake cove |
| TroutBites upstream; reel against the current. The physics engine's pop quiz. | Uncommon | Day | Insect | ¥22 | Upstream |
| SquidNight-fishing 101. Guaranteed spawn inside the light circle. | Uncommon | Night | Glow bait | ¥25 | Under pier lights |
| PufferfishInflates to add drag. Do not yank — wait for the deflate. | Uncommon | All day | Shrimp | ¥28 | Reef |

| TunaThe first "real drag test". Bring a mid-tier reel or tears. | Epic | Day | Live bait | ¥90 | Offshore deep |
| SwordfishSprint-puller. Slack = snap. The reel-tempo valedictorian. | Epic | All day | Live bait | ¥110 | Offshore |
| Moonfish⚠️ Lighthouse quest key — do NOT sell your first one. Deep-night only. | Epic | Midnight 0-3 | Glow bait | ¥130 | Pier lights/lake center |
| Manta RayGlides out of the water. The landing animation is worth the ticket. | Epic | Day | Plankton bait | ¥150 | Offshore |
| AnglerfishThe lantern fish. Its face and your ATM (slightly nerfed in v1.0.10: less HP). | Legendary | Deep night | Glow bait | ¥260 | Offshore trench |
| Golden KoiHidden-cove exclusive. One-hour window before the morning fog lifts. | Legendary | Dawn | Dough | ¥300 | Hidden lake cove |
| King MarlinSeven-jump combo. Every breach is a declaration of war on your line. | Legendary | Day | Live bait | ¥340 | Far offshore |
| Ghost SturgeonStorm-night only. Under 100 confirmed catches server-wide. | Legendary | Storm nights | Fish chunks | ¥420 | River mouth depths |

| LeviathanThe final fish of this patch. 2.4m+. No blinking before landing. | Mythic | Dusk (storm bonus) | Any legendary lure | ¥1500 | Farthest offshore point |
| AnchovyCheaper than sardines. You fish it purely for the fish-print collection. | Common | All day | Worm | ¥4 | Around the pier |
| Lake BassSame price as the river-mouth perch but chunkier. The bane of one-of-each collectors. | Common | Day | Shrimp | ¥10 | Lake cove |
| Small CatfishThe Lake Lord as a juvenile. Catch too many and you feel watched. | Common | Night | Worm | ¥14 | Deep lake cove |
| MulletSchools hard — one bite usually means a chain of bites. | Uncommon | Dusk | Dough | ¥16 | River mouth |
| FlounderBottom hugger. Reeling it in is like landing a floor tile. | Uncommon | All day | Shrimp | ¥20 | Sandy shallows |
| Goldring PufferRare puffer variant; the gold rings light up when it inflates. A night surprise. | Rare | Night | Glow bait | ¥35 | Reef |
| Giant SeahorseSwims upright; the drag direction is weird. Like tug-of-war with a question mark. | Rare | Day | Plankton bait | ¥38 | Offshore kelp forest |
| LionfishVenomous spines — failing the landing QTE poisons and slows you (crewmates can pull spines in co-op). | Rare | Night | Shrimp | ¥42 | Reef |
| Mahi-MahiShifts from blue to gold as it fights. The fishing world's light show. | Epic | Day | Live bait | ¥85 | Offshore |
| WahooFastest opening sprint of any fish. The first 10 seconds decide everything. | Epic | Dawn | Live bait | ¥95 | Far offshore |
| Ocean SunfishEasiest bite while sunbathing sideways. Shockingly weak drag — the epic-tier embarassment. | Epic | Day | Plankton bait | ¥120 | Offshore |
| Eel KingThe eel's legendary variant. Rain-night only; slightly easier than the Ghost Sturgeon (slightly). | Legendary | Rainy nights | Fish chunks | ¥280 | River mouth depths |
| Platinum KoiThe Golden Koi's sibling — same window, same spot. Which one bites is up to fate. | Legendary | Dawn | Dough | ¥320 | Hidden cove |
| King HalibutA sprinting floor tile. A bottom-hugging war of attrition. | Legendary | Night | Fish chunks | ¥380 | Offshore sandbed |
| NarwhalThe only mammal "catch". The tusk rams the boat at landing. Best-looking entry in the codex. | Legendary | Dawn (storm bonus) | Any epic bait | ¥460 | Far offshore |
| Styx MorayGentler than the Kraken Fry: it pulls you but does not dunk you. The trench's middle class. | Mythic | Deep night | Glow + fish chunks | ¥750 | Mid-trench |
| CoelacanthThe living fossil. The achievement system hitches for a second when you land it — even it didn't know it was still here. | Mythic | Storm nights | Any legendary bait | ¥880 | Trench floor |
| MoonwhaleFull-moon only (7-day in-game lunar cycle). Surfacing triggers a server-wide broadcast. A social fish. | Mythic | Full-moon nights | Moonfish lure | ¥1100 | Lake/offshore boundary |
| Carp KingFinal form of the koi twins. A 20-minute pre-fog window; single-digit catches server-wide. | Mythic | Dawn, pre-fog | Dough + golden-koi lure | ¥950 | Deepest hidden cove |
| Void AnglerfishAn easter-egg species: spawns only with every boat light off. In the dark, its lamp is your only bobber. | Mythic | Deep night (boat lights OFF) | Glow bait | ¥980 | Trench floor |

★ Time slots beat bait
Same rod, same water — wrong hour, empty bucket. Legendary+ windows run 1-3 hours, some gated by weather (storms, fog). Tape the codex timeslots to your monitor — wisdom from the Stiff Neck Alliance.
“Stared at the bobber all night for a legendary. The legendary never came; a stiff neck did. Checked the codex later — my time window was four hours off.”
