Description The Finn'd Fish swims on the surface with it's fin emerging from the water. This disguises it as a shark and fools hunters.

But what about shark hunters?

Well... They would be trying to spear a shark and not a small bodied fish and so miss most of the time?

Hard question.

Perhaps?
But the people who hunt them for their fins would love this thing.

Maybe it was gene-modded for that purpose--produce a small, farmed fish with an outsized fin that can then be humanely harvested.

Hmm... That actually makes sense!
An exciting new front for genetic engineers!

Making it rarer... Just can't win.

Maybe, like *thomastapir suggests, it's a domesticated fish to farm and save the sharks?

Yes, that would do it!

I LOVE IT!!!

(But does it wear a hat with little ears, like Finn d'Human?)


I really like the color scheme and body shape on this one, it looks very plausible as a shark mimic.
I have to admit, I'm thrilled you liked this idea enough to use it as the basis for an original piece!

Yep, that fish would fool me if I were swimming at the beach.
