Trivia

 * Slaughterfish cannot swim in shallow water, so an effective tactic is to draw them out to a shallow area and attack them from a distance. Though they are usually easy to kill, they can pose a serious threat for a new character out for its first swim.
 * If you find a slaughterfish out of water, it will flop about helplessly until you kill it or it finds water.
 * In Skyrim, Slaugherfish can be killed easily with the use of a Cloak spell cast before going into the water, or, even easier, with Ebony Mail.
