Fish People are a specific category of (usually) intelligent, underwater fantasy species. While they're humanoids (one head, two arms, two legs), they don't look human at all; their bodies, especially the faces, have a fish-like/reptilian appearance. This means that [[Our Mermaids Are Different|mermaids]] are not true Fish People, at least not the kind described here.

A Fish Person's [[Character Alignment]] and ability to survive on land vary depending on the character and the series.
While Fish People are most often a pre-existing race, sometimes they are former humans (or fish) who are the result of [[Mutants|mutation]]. This origin seems especially prevalent in [[Western Animation]].

* The [[Slayers]] novels feature this too (obviously, since the anime was based of them). There are apparently several varieties of fish people of varying degrees of icthyism, but Nunsa, the one who appears in the first novel, takes the cake; talking and walking around on land are his only concessions to the "people" part of the trope. When Zolf tells him to kiss Lina to gross her out, he comments that he's considered the most desirable mate in his school (the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|best catch]], you might say), then sits down and waits patiently. When quizzed, he claims he's waiting for the eggs, since he's not sure what kissing is, but is vaguely aware it's related to mating.
* Marsh-wiggles from ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]''. [http://narnia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Narnia_Wiki WikiNarnia] describes them as having "green-grey straw-like hair, large ears, long legs and arms, webbed hands with long fingers...hard webbed feet, similar to those of ducks...a muddy complexion and greenish skin." Oh, and they're also [[Planet of Hats|an entire race of]] [[The Eeyore|Eeyores]]

* The ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "Go Fish" had one of these, where the swim team [[Lego Genetics|magically mutates]] into fish dudes due to their coach giving them illegal, soviet fish-based steroids. We know, it makes no sense. Unusually for monsters in a Buffy episode, they all lived [[Happily Ever After]] in the ocean.
** It's really not a happy ending for them since they lost their human personalities, so the swim team essentially died.

* One legend pertaining to the legendary Merovingian Dynasty claims that they were descendants of Fish People. The writers of the ''[[Holy Blood Holy Grail]]'', and ''[[The Da Vinci Code]]'' decided to interpret this as that they were in fact the descendants of Jesus Christ, since early Christians used a stylized fish as their symbol, not to mention that the Greek word for fish, ''icthys'', formed a nice acronym of Jesus's name and titles. There isn't an ounce more evidence to prove this theory than there is to prove actual Fish People's involvement, though.
** This seems to be based on a rather desperate interpretation. "Merovingian" means people of the sea, and so originally most likely referred to a people who lived on the coast, or settlers who came from overseas.

*** The Merovingians were perfectly historical, and they're called that after an ancestor named Merovech. If [[The Other Wiki]] may be believed, his name has, despite the similarity to "mere", German ''Meer'', etc, nothing to do with the sea, but means "famed fight".
