Scientific Name: Pisces argentinus (unconfirmed)
Common Name: Silverweft Fish
Classification: Aquatic Fauna — Exotic Realm Species
Description:
Silverweft Fish inhabit the shallow, mirrored waters of the Pale Country’s glass lakes and fields. They appear as flickering, silver-hued shapes, often glimpsed only as distortions or smudges beneath the surface. Their scales shimmer like woven threads of silver, creating an illusion of movement rather than movement itself.
Known Effects on Humans:
The fish are believed to be manifestations of fleeting memories and lost childhood impressions.
Capturing or observing a Silverweft Fish is said to evoke vivid childhood recollections, often accompanied by a profound sense of loss or nostalgia.
Their flesh, if consumed, is said to carry the taste of forgotten joy but spoils immediately upon contact with speech or laughter.
Contact may trigger temporary shifts in time perception or induce daydream-like trances.
Behavioral Notes:
Silverweft Fish are elusive and require perfect stillness and focus to catch.
They swim in subtle, non-linear patterns, often avoiding areas with strong emotional or psychic disturbances.
Known to vanish and reappear cyclically, correlating with shifts in the Pale Country’s temporal layers.
Warnings / Dangers:
Attempting to capture or kill these fish may lead to disorientation, loss of temporal bearings, or emotional destabilization.
Prolonged exposure to Silverweft Fish sightings may cause dissociative episodes or inability to differentiate memory from reality.
Consumption of their flesh without proper ritual may lead to mental fragmentation or obsessive nostalgia.
Advised to avoid reflective water bodies alone, especially near dawn or dusk.
