Batacuda are a non-sentient species of fish in the Spiral. They are most prevalent in Skull Island, but are also found in Monquista in Tierra Primata Skyway. Some subspecies such as Void Fish are found outside their typical range. Batacuda are aggressive creatures that will board and attack ships in the skyway, and are even known to steal personal items from their victims.[1][2] Most Batacuda look generally similar, but have differently colored scales and fins depending on their environment.
