Fish are a type of food item in Spore, appearing only in the Tribal Stage.

Appearances

Tribal Stage

Fish can be acquired at a designated fishing spot along the coast. These fishing spots feature fish, that leap out of the water constantly, and they appear as fish shaped icons on the mini map. Only omnivores and carnivores can hunt for fish, while herbivores gather seaweed instead. The Fishing Spears tool allows tribe members to maximize their fishing bounty. Using the Flying Fish consequence ability will summon a sea monster to scare fish out of the water, providing lots of food for the player's tribe. The amount of fish is dependent on the size of the tribe.

Galactic Adventures

In the Spore Galactic Adventures expansion pack, "Jumping Fish" can be placed anywhere into an adventure as an effect from the "Nature Effects" folder, although they cannot be interacted with. There are also a handful of fixed objects featuring fish, such as Fish Platter, Pile Fish, Fish Market, and Fish Hut.

Tips

• Fishing is the second easiest method for collecting food, because the tribe usually has to go long distances to reach a suitable fishing spot.

Trivia

• The fish are fully modeled and appear to be made out of cell parts, specifically Jaw, Cilia and Beady Eye. However, their tail fin seems to be an actual part of their body rather than an attached part.
