Circish

 (#056) is a Water Meta Monster introduced in the first generation.

It does not undergo any form of metamorphosis.

Circish are large white ray-finned fish with round heads and thin bodies. Their skin is white aside from two large red stripes on their bodies and their large red horizontal tailfins that resembles large clown shoes. Their mouths are wide smiles with large red lips, and their eyes are small and beady. Around their eyes are four small black lines in a "+" shape. Both their dorsal fin and pectoral fins are orange; on the former, the tallest fin ray is tipped with a small white puffball. Circish have external gills that resemble a blue bowtie.

Circish are happy-go-lucky creatures that never seem to lose their happy attitude. Their greatest desire seems to be to entertain others through impressive tricks and stunts. It seems that they believe humans to be the best audience because they have evolved the ability to store extra oxygen from the water in their large bowtie-shaped external gills, allowing them to venture onto land for extended periods of time (up to an hour) and seek out humans to perform for. They have a tendency to seek out the saddest humans they can find.



is based on a clownfish. Many of its design elements are based on actual clowns as well.

The name "" is a combination of the words "circus" and "fish".
