Book 3: Death's End
- Ch 50Originally finger-long freshwater fish from He'ershingenmosiken caves, they grew man-length in the sea, bred explosively, and chew ships to nothing.
- Ch 50They live only around the Storyless Kingdom's coast, forming a barrier that seals the kingdom off from the rest of the world.
- Ch 51Black, steel-like fish with white bellies and knife-sharp fins that tear apart anything in the sea, but they become docile in the soap foam.
Key moments
- Book 3 · Ch 50Flight to the sea

- Book 3 · Ch 51Crossing to Tomb Island
Long-Sail, Dewdrop and Auntie Wide row a small boat to Tomb Island, dragging soap foam that pacifies the glutton fish, and reach Prince Deep Water.
