Turnip fish

Lovely artwork but I think the person who was given it to revamp hadn't read the description first as it is meant to look like a carrot.

I'm curious what they used to look like. Did it happen to look more like a carrot before?

Makes me think that if it gets redone, we need a Carrot Fish with that thing's current image. haha.

A Carrot Fish that looks like a turnip would be funny, and a good way to re-purpose the art. :P

The original item was called Turnip Fish, and it looked like a carrot before the revamp (pretty sure). But if you read the description, that was intentional. However, the artist who revamped it made it look like a turnip since it was called Turnip Fish.

So fixed it by changing the name to Carrot Fish and updating the description, so it still works as originally intended.

- so sneaky!

- "The Carrot Fish was so named because the marine biologist who discovered them felt that naming them "Turnip Fish" would have shown a deplorable lack of imagination. The fact that said marine biologist chose Carrot Fish as an alternative suggests either great delusion and irony, or a twisted sense of humor."

Until Ariel sneaked in there, this was called the Turnip Fish and looked like a carrot. The art got redrawn as a turnip fish because the artist mustn't have realised the write up referenced it as carrot in appearance. Ariel has swapped it to a carrot fish so the art works now.

It's a shame to change it but I image art takes a while so it is easier to change the description than redo the art.

Dang Laurey got in there while I was typing and was much more succinct ^_^;
