Known Members: None identifiedwerefish-spacecreatures-kio

Affiliations: None known

Enemies: 803, Cora and her children, Kio and his crew, Venom (Flash Thompson);
    presumably anyone who enters their sector is considered prey by them

First Appearance: Venom: Space Knight#1 (January, 2016)

Powers/Abilities: Piscine in appearance, the were-fish live in open space, thriving in the cold and vacuum.

    They are carnivorous.
    Possessing two rows of sharp teeth (one on the edge of their jaws, and another pair around the circumference of their nearly circular oropharyngeal (back of their throat) region), they can fit an adult humanoid being entire within their mouth.
    They can easily bite through limbs and presumably through torsos. as well.

    The possess dorsal, pectoral, pelvic, and tail fins. However, the means through which they navigate in the vacuum of space is uncertain.

    They also have antenna-like projections extending caudally from the their superior palpebra (upper eyelids). It is unrevealed whether these just provided tactile stimuli or if perhaps they could communicate with other were-fish via these structures.

    They also had gill-like structures between their head and pectoral fins. Perhaps they could use these to breathe underwater when on a planet.

    Members of Kio's crew expressed concern with flying their starship into the Broken Sea, presumably indicating that the were-fish could potentially break through the ship's hull.

Traits: The were-fish are predators. When organic beings enter their sector of space, they attempt to feed on them.

Type: Bilaterally symmetric semi-piscine creatures
Eyes: Two (on head;  blue color seen)
Fingers: None (fins)
Toes: None (fins)
Skin color: Green
Average height: Approximately 5' (perhaps 15' long)

History:werefish-spacecreatures-corasfam
werefish-spacecreatures-kio-chomped(Venom: Space Knight#1) - After Venom boarded his ship intending to rescue the captive Cora and her children, Kio -- aware of the intruder on board -- ordered the ship into the broken sea.

    When a crewman respectfully warned that the were-fish would tear them apart, Kio advised him that they could use the intruder's corpse to distract the were-fish.

    After stunning Venom with a sonic weapon, Kio advised Thompson that he would sell the Klyntar for a pretty penny and that Thompson would make nice scraps for the were-fish.

    However, Thompson hit a button to open a door on the ship, which pulled Venom, Kio, Cora and her children, and anyone else nearby into space; having apparently planned for this eventuality, Venom had had Cora and her children don space suits.

    With the symbiote having sufficiently recovered, Venom rescued Cora and her children and brought them back aboard the ship, while one of the were-fish confronted Kio.

    Although Kio tried to use one of Cora's children as a shield, Venom apparently rescued the child, after which the were-fish fed on Kio.

    As Venom gathered Cora's family returned to the ship, one of Kio's booted feet was seen floating through space.

Comments: Created by Robbie Thompson and Ariel Olivetti.

    So...were means "man." These guys don't really strike me as men-fish...but maybe it means something else in alien-ese.

    There are a few other images of the were-fish in the sub-profile for Cora's children.
