You see a red-colored fish with barbels coming from its mouth and wide, blank eyes. It doesn't seem threatening at all, as it splashes around aimlessly.

Magikarp are useless and easily deluded. They appear as red or golden scaled fish with long whiskers similar to a catfish. Magikarp are about as common as dirt, and about as tasty. Magikarp have a bone for every scale in their body, and that's a lot of bones. Magikarp are frequently abused verbally and physically because of their relative helplessness. This results in many Magikarp holding an intense rage over the course of their lives.

Combat

Tactics Round-by-Round: Magikarp aimlessly thrashes against opposition.

• Round 0: Flop around.

• Round 2: Flop.
• Round 3: Expire.

Hardy: Magikarp, while inept, are quite resilient, and gain a +4 bonus on any saves related to resisting poison or dissease.
