The Deviate Fish is prized for its mutagenic properties. It can be eaten raw, cooked into Savory Deviate Delight, or used to make Elixir of Giant Growth potions by an alchemist.
Deviate fish are small fish living in the streams and waters near the Wailing Caverns. They are tiny because they have been altered by the deviate magic of the Wailing Caverns. They are a full-grown, but remarkably little, version of a common freshwater species of trout. The deviate fish are about 2 inches long, whereas a normal adult trout grows upward of 1 foot long. Furthermore, deviate fish radiate faint auras of transformation magic. Consuming one of these fish, either alive or cooked, produces various effects, usually "reduce person" which lasts for two minutes. They are very common throughout the Shrine of the Scarabs section of the caverns. They do not survive more than a day or so outside the Wailing Caverns, and once dead their power faids several hours.HPG 230

Deviate Fish are caught with the fishing skill. They are found in the waters in the Forgotten Pools, the Lushwater Oasis, near the Wailing Caverns, and at the Stagnant Oasis near Ratchet. The Lushwater Oasis may be preferred because schools of Deviate Fish occasionally spawn here.
