Fish People Physiology
The Gill-Man (The Creature from the Black Lagoon)
Power/Ability to:	Use the traits of fish people

The power to use the abilities of fish people. Variation of Cryptic Physiology and Fish Physiology. Not to be confused with Merfolk Physiology.

Also Called

• Fish People Mimicry
• Fishman Physiology

Capabilities

User with this ability either is or can transform into a fish people, category of (usually) intelligent, underwater fantasy species. While they're humanoids (one head, two arms, two legs), they don't look human; their bodies, especially the faces, have a fish-like/reptilian appearance. Their disposition/attitude towards others (especially surface folk) 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 mutation. This origin seems especially prevalent in Western Animation.
