Coral Cod Character ID

Coral cod are tranquil fish that inhabit the waters of the Ocean biome. They can be found both in the deep Ocean and occasionally near the shores of other biomes. They currently represent the top 'tier' in fishing bait progression. To catch them, one can use a fishing pole with Heavy fishing bait.
