Magma Fish



Magma Fish is the first regular monster who can remove your enchantments(except Magic Barrier). Magma Ball fires in 3 angles as well. If you simply move to the left or right, you can easily avoid it. They're decently suspectible to Ice Wall, due to often being close together. However, this only works if there's a maximum of 4 monsters.

In the Gameboy remake, Magma Fish's Magma Ball hits the entire screen, but it can no longer remove enchantments. Ice Wall, which now hits the entire screen, is fairly good at taking care of them in 2 or 3 shots.

Trivia

 * Magma Fish is enemy byte A in the coding.
 * Magma Fish has a counterpart in Winged Sunfish.
 * The monsters have somewhat switched palettes between the N64 and Gameboy versions. Winged Sunfish is normally more purple, while Magma Fish is more reddish. For some reason, this is reversed in the Gameboy game.
 * Nightmare and Gloom Wing are also similar counterparts, and show up with their respective versions. Magma Fish shows up with Nightmare, and Winged Sunfish shows up with Gloom Wing.
 * The name is fairly simple. It's a fish made out of Magma. Why it's able to fly is due to the game not having actual Watery or other areas where it could logically be submerged(including in Lava).
 * It does show up in near Lava-related sections, as Dindom Dries and Boil Hole both have part of that. The only other areas to have any Lava is a bit of Baragoon Moor(near the Boil Hole exit) and in World of Mammon, in one of the various darkened sections.
 * This is the only enemy to use a spell that shares the same name as themselves. Rocky comes close by using Rock Lv 3.
