The decrease in Mana has even caused the waters to rage and fish with them.

Square’s Description
Cannibal fish that have become huge in muddy water due to the vibrations of evil. They can do activities on land for a short time, and their movement is surprisingly quick. They spit out the contaminated water in their body and attack.
ManaRedux says…
By the time you get to the Iffish, you should have the Whip, and can effectively attack at a distance. Their AI has a lot of trouble if your characters are spread out.

Square’s Description
Descendants of a tribe that worshipped a repulsive fish god in the distant past. Also called mermen, their attack is to throw and stab with the harpoon they hold. They’re usually spaced out, but when they rush to attack, their speed is astonishing.
ManaRedux says…
Another easy one.

Square’s Description
Murderous fish born when Iffish swallowed mini torpedoes, causing a chemical reaction between explosives and cells in their bodies. Because they can remake torpedoes at any time, that is their greatest weapon. Be careful of their attack with sharp fangs.
ManaRedux says…
A pain. They can be difficult to hit as you dodge their missiles, and their Freeze is powerful. Fire magic works well.

Dragon Ring
Square’s Description
Water Thugs with an avid belief in the sea god Poseidon; through cooperation with Poseidon, they have gained some of that power. They’ve become able to manipulate even quite powerful magic. Since their harpoon also has a part of that power, their attack power has increased.
ManaRedux says…
They cast a variety of Undine spells, but aren’t that difficult to take out with their low defense.
