Artist’s comment:
 
Some of Red Tide’s most useful and available forces are the ancient Fish Men who he has released from spells that trapped them in suspended animation down in their flooded, eldritch, strongholds. Now this great necromancer holds sway over them, and they do his bidding as he prepares for world domination in my Deep Six dreams.
 
Fish Men are legendary for their ability to absorb damage and keep going. Unfortunately for Red Tide some Fish Men are a bit lacking in the smarts department. True some are crafty, intelligent, and very dangerous, but some are not the sharpest crayons in the box! This is something that Sweetie Belle uses to her advantage when they attack Ponyville. Here’s a tip. You search through all the cookbooks in Equestria but you will not find a recipe for Powder Cake with Nail Icing.
