Fish-One (white)

The Fish-One is an enemy that appears in Sonic and the Black Knight. They are a type of the Knights of the Underworld and a part of the Fish-One variant which are tasked with scouting and monitoring enemies. They specialize in petrifying their foes with energy bombs.

Appearance
The Fish-Ones, as their name implies, resemble large normal fish. Most of their skin is colored dark grey while their underbellies are in a shade of dark purple. They possess wing-like pelvic fins, a pointy dorsal fin and a glowing red orb instead of a tail fin. Additionally, they have glowing white medieval markings running across their body. On their head they have a metal visor with a single eye behind them.

Powers and Abilities
The Fish-Ones are able to teleport to different locations by emerging from black voids. They are also capable of flight through midair by using their flippers.

As their specialty, the Fish-Ones can shoot special white energy bombs from their eye which will instantly petrify those making contact with them, turning them to stone.

Attack Patterns
In most cases, the Fish-Ones attack the player by flying stationary in one place and firing their energy bombs, petrifying the player on contact. Otherwise, they will resort to flying straight in the playable character, causing damage.

Overview
The white Fish-Ones are a rare type of the Fish-Ones and can only be encountered in a few Missions in Knight's Passage. If the playable character is hit by the Fish-Ones' energy bombs, it causes an instant defeat and the player will be forced to start over from an earlier point in the stage. Blocking the energy bombs with Guard will negate their effect however. Also, equipable items such as Stone Broach, Stone Protection and Petrification Immunity give a certain degree of resistance to the energy bombs. Like most other Knights of the Underworld, the Fish-Ones can be defeated with a single, well-aimed sword slash.

Trivia

 * The Fish-Ones' ability to petrify the playable character is similar to the Gargoyle Djinn's ability in Sonic and the Secret Rings. However, unlike the Fish-Ones, the player can break from the Gargoyle Djinns petrification by shaking the Wii Remote without being defeated.
