Forum:Trout, Knucklehead

I'm not sure how best to do this. I'll just put this here. I was surprised to see that 5E had illustrated the knucklehead trout as red fish. They're supposed to be silver in color.

"''Ah little fishes, what trouble you bring,' Regis muttered softly, pondering the irony of the havoc the silvery fish wreaked on the lives of the greedy people of Ten-Towns' (bold added; The Crystal Shard, P1:C2)."

I suppose a good retcon reconciliation of the sources is to visualize knuckleheads as red on top and sides, while still being silvery on their undersides. :)

(I don't bother citing edition or page numbers, as there are so very many different editions and formats of the Salvatore stories, and pagination varies tremendously. Part and/or chapter numbers are precise enough, and always applicable, regardless of edition.)


 * Most likely, the 5e artists have been unaware of that description, and not unreasonably. I don't know if they've been well described in many places. Our article isn't very detailed and doesn't include that information, though I'll add it later.


 * Another possible explanation is that the knuckleheads change color for spawning season, just as real trout do. BadCatMan (talk)
