General
Lightbringer fish are gorgeous creatures, and not only due to their shimmering scales and beautiful wings. They are able to constantly generate light in a small ring around their bodies, reminiscent of a halo. They use this light to travel deep beneath the waves, exploring trenches so far below the water that no light reaches. With powerful magic to combat the ocean pressures and a lightbringer fish by one's side, magi have explored the most remote, darkest depths of the oceans. The ring of light will never dim even slightly during the lightbringer's lifetime, with one exception - if they are preyed upon by their natural enemy, the lighteater fish. Some say that lightbringers can become lighteaters if another lighteater consumes all of the light in their halo-like rings, but no one has ever witnessed it happen.
Egg
This egg is surrounded by a glowing ring.
Hatchling
The first thing your tiny hatchling does after emerging from its egg is to learn how to cast light in a ring around its body. Considering its small size, the ring of light usually surrounds the entire fish, resulting in your new hatchling sometimes looking like a little glowing ball when it illuminates too brightly. Its wings are small, but it can still leap impressively high from the water, catching the sun's rays in its shimmering scales. Underwater, it is incredibly graceful, even when young.
Adult
Lightbringer fish enjoy clear, shallow waters, where it is easy to leap from the surface and let their shimmering rings glow like the sun itself. They live in either freshwater or saltwater, and are happy either way. They can glide using their wings for nearly a minute at a time. During the day, this gives the effect of floating rays of sun flying over rivers and streams, and at night, it is even more beautiful. The lightbringers look like stars shooting over the dark waters.
