Fish (creature)
Appearance
There is so far only one type of non-predator fish in The Blockheads. It has a round body with curved, vertical stripes and a broad tail fin.
Where Found
Fish can spawn in almost any body of water, and have been found in water as shallow as two blocks. They have not been seen in underground water.
Behavior
Fish seem to swim idly in the water, appearing to undulate while doing so. They also emit bubbles, small, lightly-colored squares that quickly diminish and vanish.
They will move away from a swimming Blockhead, and so in shallow water can be herded. They will ignore a Blockhead walking in very shallow water. They will swim quickly away from a Blockhead that has struck them.
When encountering the bait on the end of a cast fishing rod line, an interested fish will quickly move back and forth until it gets hooked and reeled in.
Harvesting
Fish can be killed by the usual means (hand or tool), but it's more efficient to use a fishing rod. At least eighteen (18) fish can be caught with one fishing rod.
Uses
A caught fish goes into inventory as raw fish meat.
