Talk:Mountain Fish

Overgrown plesiosaurus?
Most defintedly NOT.

They are much too big to be relatied with ANY possible vertebrates, known on Earth. 300 meters - far too long for any possible bones to support structure, for any possible muscles to move, and for nervous system to be effective.

I strongly suspect that they are descendants of some completely unrelated species, brought by Squall. Species from the world, where the evolution went different way on the level of phylums, at the VERY least.

I recall a discription of mountain fish looking like overgrown plesiosaurs the size of the criter and the exact structure probably more like the short necked one,  Recal the Dennis silva had difficulty hitting the brain due to a hump mistaken for abrain case.Pokermind (talk) 21:05, June 27, 2016 (UTC)

They may be similar in appearance, but this is definitedly nothing more than just parallelism. For example, the dolphin and the shark have a lot of common parts in their appearance, but biologically they are not related at all.

The books are confusing a huge maw ith teeth and a discription as filter feeders. Hmm a brean whale without a brean? So yah Taxology unknown, although I can't remember where there is a statement the resembled plesiosaurs.

My IMHO - some completely different taxon. Quite probably, not native to Destroyermen's world - i.e. probably this specie or its ansestors were transferred millions of years ago.

Hm, we didn't even knew, are they air-breathers? Or have gills?
