Aberrant Coelacanth — Background & Lore
The Aberrant Coelacanth is the glowing Aberration form of the 
Coelacanth, a harmless fish. It is identical to the base fish apart from its bioluminescence and is mostly a source of 
Raw Fish Meat.
Where to find it
- Both games: common in the waters of Aberration.
- ASA: also Astraeos.
- ASE: also Crystal Isles and Fjordur.
Taming
It can only be tamed with a 
Fish Basket, which lets you keep it and release it later. It is a passive tame, and it does not eat from troughs, so give it meat or fish directly. It cannot be bred.
Uses
A steady source of Raw Fish Meat. Tamed ones can still level up, and higher levels make them bulkier, so they yield more meat.
