Colossal fish are immense aquatic creatures in Lake Eternity and the ocean along the Plains of Eternity. Some are larger than ships and leap from the water to attack boats or low-flying mages.
Appearance and behavior
A coastal fish that overturned an Ereshval ship was two or three times the vessel's size. It had iridescent scales and radiated more essence than most high-level mages. The fish pursuing Viviana and Gren over Lake Eternity had fins with a mirror-like sheen. Other large fish swam beside passing ships without attacking them.
The plains' overflowing essence makes defending against them difficult. Jin's magic recoiled when he tried to strike a fish north of Ashenford. Pontarius's expedition encountered a fish larger than its ship, struggled to cast and drain essence, and exhausted its essence cores defending against the creatures in the haze.
Habitat and origins
As the source leaked increasing amounts of essence into the environment, fish in the river grew larger and mutated into strange beasts. Smaller fish resembling the colossal lake creatures swim in the River of Eternity.
Encounters and uses
Thamrielle rescued Viviana and Gren when colossal fish pursued them over Lake Eternity. Her burning monolith shattered against one fish. She used another to ferry the exhausted mages to shore, then carried them inland as the lakeside cliffs collapsed.
Fish from the plains are used as food. Vashir brought a large fish from the nearby waters that Kallion cooked for an expedition of nearly a hundred people. Thalena also listed colossal fish among the creatures eligible for a proposed Celestial Games beast-taming challenge.

Monstrous river fish also leapt at troops crossing a narrow bridge during Alistair's ancient march into the plains.
