The Lionfish is a tier 9 animal. It is based on its real life counterpart, the Red Lionfish, Pterois volitans.

Mechanics[]

Barracudas evolve into lionfish.
- 42,000 XP is required for a barracuda to evolve into a lionfish.
Lionfish can evolve into stonefish, moray eels or Atlantic torpedoes.
- 48,000 XP is required for a lionfish to evolve into any of those animals.
Lionfish drop meat upon death.
As a lionfish, friendly fire is turned off for other lionfish: meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them.

Abilities[]

Trivia[]

The Lionfish, along with the Humpback Whale are the only two known animals that can damage and kill Ghosts, as Lionfish's charged ability hurts and poisons them and Humpback Whale's Ruin song directly damages them.

Diet[]

This is a complete list of food that lionfish can eat.

Name	Can be eaten by	Image	XP	Description

Bubble	All animals that breathe air		0	Affected by gravity, floats upwards. Spawns out of the window of the shipwreck. Replenishes oxygen to animals that breathe air.

Volcano Food	All except lamprey		125	Affected by gravity, floats upwards. Spawns out of volcanoes, which can be hidden in and are located in the arctic and the deeeep. When eaten as an animal that is not suited to the arctic, it will replenish some of your temperature.
