Moonfin Information

Archive Type and Information

Genshin - MoonfinMoonfin Type Moonfin Fish
Region Inazuma
Spawn Time 18:00 - 6:00

A rare butterfly fish that emits light amidst the pitch-dark ocean. They love to swim in schools, and when gathered together, they form the image of a moon that has fallen into the sea, which is the origin of the ''Lunar Leviathan'' legend. This characteristic once attracted a great number of light-seeking sea creatures, and in some sense, also guided people who had descended into darkness.

Mistaken as a Lunar Leviathan

Genshin - Lunar Realm Quest - Over The Moon
During the Lunar Realm quest, Kujirai Momiji revealed that a school of Moonfish started the myth of the Lunar Leviathan:


No wonder, after all these years, no one's been able to catch the ''Lunar Leviathan!'' Because it turns out, it is just composed of a school of ''Moonfins.''
