Biology[]
Fish monsters are big, green, snake-like monsters with a dorsal fin, sharp teeth, and multiple tongues that can efficiently trap victims. they can appear as either green or grey and also range between being huge or small. With the smaller fish appearing to be prey for the larger fish.
A smaller black-and-gray variation exists, as seen in "Gardening Zero". Category One also shows several more varieties of fish monsters living in the Hotel Basement, bearing various colors and shapes.
Behavior[]
Fish monsters are mostly hostile, eating the contestants and each other when given the opportunity. However, they never seem to eat Pencil and will instead wrap their tongues around her for reasons unknown.
"Fishes and Dishes" reveals more about their behavior. They can be quite territorial as the fish monster that appears was furious when Eraser was swimming nearby its cave. They are also capable of affection with other fish monsters as it seemed infatuated with the fake fish monster and was eager to find the plates for it. They are also shown to be capable of mourning as the fish monster was saddened by the robotic fish monsters "death".

A fish monster first appeared in "Take the Plunge: Part 2". While Blocky was blocking his boat leak, a fish bites Blocky, causing him to shoot up in the air in pain. His team members watched in shock as the monster "eats" Blocky when he was falling down. However, in the next episode, it was revealed that the monster missed him and he fell behind the monster, creating an illusion that he was eaten. While Pencil was trying to get the supposed Blocky out of the fish monster, it wraps it's tongue around her, but didn't eat her, as it was distracted by Flower flying in the sky.
In "Hurtful!", multiple fish monsters are seen. It is shown that the larger fish will eat the smaller fish as a large grey fish eats a small green one, then Leafy.
A fish monster reappeared in "The Long-lost Yoyle City", bigger than last time, when Pencil was once again wrapped in it's tongue. Her team was forced to saw her in half to get her out. Later, Pencil kicked Rocky into the monster's jaws as revenge for barfing on her. In The Desert, Coiny attempts to hit the FreeSmart Van with a branch, however it missed and hit Rocky, causing him to fall into the monster. At the near end of the episode, Puffball dropped everyone on her team off of her, and they were devoured by the fish monster. There is a flashback of this moment in Well Rested.

Eraser stumbles on a fish monster after finding the plates and swims away when it gives chase. When The Strongest Team on Earth steals Are You Okay's fish monster submarine to try and find the plates, the fish monster is fooled by the submarine, thinking it was an actual fish monster. When the team tries to communicate with the fish monster to determine the location of the plates, Robot Flower retaliates by turning off the submarine and threatening to blow it up. The real fish monster swims downward upon seeing the submarine start to spark, and when it explodes, at the end of the episode, the fish monster returns to lay a flower on the submarine and mourn over its "death".

It accidentally eats Ice Cube and chokes on her, causing it to flail around and accidentally flood the basement by busting a water pipe. It's next seen attempting to eat Grassy and Eraser. It succeeds, but it blown out of the sewer drain when a Giant David steps on TV and he explodes. Team CloudYAY catches the fish monster while they fly on a Dragon.
