Shoal

A Shoal is a special type of monster, it's basically a group of fish that behaves as a single monster in a similar way to a Great Thunderbug.

Information
The shoal is composed by 6 little fish, the fish species changes depending on the area. Shoals just swim around water areas, ignoring hunters and monsters alike. Some monsters prey on them to regain stamina.

How to kill a shoal
A shoal can be "killed" in two ways, if the hunter hits a shoal with a normal weapon the fish that shape it will scatter and disappear, sometimes leaving a shiny drop.

When the hunter hits a shoal with a harpoon, three fish of the shoal will die while the other ones will scatter. Then the hunter can carve the shoal once obtaining different materials depending on the fish species of the shoal.
