A small group of StarKnight Swordfish moves together through the water, bodies gleaming faintly as they swim in loose formation. Their long blades catch the light as they turn, but their posture remains relaxed.
They do not scatter or react when approached, simply adjusting their course slightly before continuing on.
The group remains calm and self-assured, content to share the space before drifting onward as one.
StarKnight SwordfishAreas Found: Torchline, Maria Mundi — Uncommon Swordfish with tails that leave a trail of bioluminescent sparks as they swim. They navigate warm coastal waters in groups, often interacting with sailors and guiding them safely through the seas or offering protection to swimmers.
