This small koi hatchling is hard to spot in the water. When it isn't moving it's translucent, and when it does it looks like the sun's rays reflecting off the waves. These koi aren't very active during the night, opting to stay near the bottom of their watery home, but when the sun comes out they dart and jump as best they can to enjoy its warmth.
Solar Koi are incredibly energetic during the day. Young magi will sometimes race their water creatures to see who is the fastest, and when the noon sun is highest, no other water creature, magical or not, can beat a solar koi in pure speed. They can swim the length of the stream as fast as a blink. They are nimble and lithe, their thinner bodies letting them fit through tiny underwater cracks in the stone of the Keep as they seek out algae to eat. Solar koi are common, as their speed makes them difficult for predators to catch and even when young they can outswim any predator - at least during the day. At night, they hide out of sight, waiting for the sun to return their power.
