Biology

Fish monsters are large snake-like creatures with dorsal fins, sharp teeth, and multiple tongues for trapping victims. They vary in size and color, with smaller ones often serving as prey for larger ones. The most common type resembles a tadpole, featuring a round face and a tube-like body tapering to a point. Others take on shark-like forms with side fins, while some are two-toned with fins on both the top and bottom. In one rare case, a fish monster has an eye of a different color.

A smaller black-and-gray variation of fish monsters exists, as seen in "Gardening Zero". "Fishes and Dishes” and "Category One" also depict several more varieties, showcasing a diverse range of colors and shapes.

Behavior

Fish monsters are mostly hostile creatures, often eating both contestants and each other when given the opportunity. However, they never seem to target Pencil, instead wrapping their tongues around her for reasons unknown.

In "Fishes and Dishes", more about their behavior is revealed. They are highly territorial, as shown by one fish monster becoming enraged when Eraser swam near its cave. Despite their generally aggressive nature, they are capable of affection, as evidenced by the fish monster's infatuation with a fake fish monster, eagerly seeking out plates for it. They are also shown to be capable of mourning, as the fish monster displayed sadness over the "death" of the robotic fish monster. The specimen seen in "🥚" was shown to be fully sapient once fed a universal translator. Whether this is a trait of the species or an effect of the translator is not known.

Fish monsters are amphibious in nature, and can be out of water for prolonged periods of time, though they are chiefly aquatic.

Fish monsters and dragons share a common ancestor, The Dragon of Greater Goiky, as revealed in "Spore Day".

Details

A fish monster first appeared in "Take the Plunge: Part 2". While Blocky was blocking a leak in his team's boat, a fish bit him, causing him to shoot up into the air in pain. His teammates watched in shock as the fish monster seemed to "eat" Blocky as he fell. However, in the next episode, it was revealed that the monster had missed him, and Blocky fell behind it, creating the illusion that he had been eaten. When Pencil tried to rescue the supposed Blocky from the fish monster, it wrapped its tongue around her, but didn't eat her. The fish monster was distracted by Flower flying in the sky.

In "Hurtful!", multiple fish monsters are seen. It is revealed that the larger fish will eat the smaller ones, as a large grey fish devours a small green fish, and then proceeds to eat Leafy.

A fish monster reappeared in "The Long-lost Yoyle City", now bigger than before, and once again wrapped its tongue around Pencil. Her team had to saw her in half to free her. Later, Pencil took revenge on Rocky by kicking him into the monster's jaws after he barfed on her. In the Southern Desert, Coiny attempted to hit the FreeSmart Van with a branch, but missed and struck Rocky, sending him into the monster's mouth. Toward the end of the episode, Puffball dropped her entire team off, and they were all devoured by the fish monster. This moment is seen in a flashback during "Well Rested".

In "Gardening Zero", a fish monster represents the knight chess piece in Yoyle Chess. A smaller fish monster with a unique design is seen when Tree talks about the things that won't be able to break the wall surrounding their Funny Plant.

In "Fishes and Dishes", a fish monster first appears when Grassy attempts to feed it a Funny Plant, only for it to eat Grassy instead. Later, Eraser encounters a fish monster while searching for the plates and escapes by swimming away as the monster gives chase. When The Strongest Team on Earth steals Are You Okay's fish monster submarine to search for the plates, the fish monster is tricked into thinking the submarine is another fish monster. The team tries to communicate with the fish monster to find the plates, but Robot Flower threatens to destroy the submarine by turning it off and blowing it up. The real fish monster swims downward after seeing the submarine spark, and when it explodes, the fish monster returns at the end of the episode, laying a flower on the wreckage and mourning the submarine's "death".

A fish monster reappears in "Category One", flying into the hotel to seek shelter after Bottle is declared safe. It starts bouncing around, attempting to eat the contestants as Robot Flower rides on its back, until Team 2 catches it and throws it into the basement sewer. During the challenge, Book and Price Tag engage in a brawl as the fish monster tries to eat them. It accidentally consumes Ice Cube and chokes on her, causing it to flail around wildly and accidentally rupture a water pipe, flooding the basement. The monster is later seen trying to eat Grassy and Eraser. While it succeeds in eating them, it is blown out of the sewer drain when a giant Davidian steps on TV and causes an explosion. CloudYAY catches the fish monster while flying on a dragon and throws it into Two's room, causing Team 2 to be up for elimination as the fish monster bounces around, trying to eat Two.

Main article: Chompy

Chompy is the only fish monster with a confirmed name. She first appeared in the short "Fish and Chips" and is stated to have also appeared in "The Long-lost Yoyle City".

Personality

Chompy is shown to be quite murderous during her apparent time in "The Long-lost Yoyle City" and for most of "Fish and Chips", eating or threatening multiple people. However, in the latter, she also demonstrates a softer and more cooperative side, attempting to think along with Fries and Ruby.

Despite this, her darker tendencies seem to overshadow her nicer traits, as revealed by her secret "Plan for World Domination".

Coverage

In "The Long-lost Yoyle City", Chompy wrapped Pencil in her tongues, leading to Pencil being sawed in half and killed. She also somewhat accidentally murdered Rocky, FreeSmart, and Team No-Name.

In "Fish and Chips", Chompy eats Woody, Lollipop, Loser, and Gelatin offscreen. She is later hunted down by Rusty Coin and Anchor, whose goal has long been to find and kill her, while Ruby and Fries attempt to save her. Chompy tries to come up with a plan to escape from the first, more murderous duo, but her and the second duo’s efforts are cut short when everything resolves itself on its own.
