Goldfish (Item)

The Goldfish is an aquatic creature that can be found in any water around Terraria randomly. Like the Rabbit the Goldfish only has five HP, and also like the Rabbit you cannot hurt it. However, goldfish CAN be killed by any hostile NPC.

Once a goldfish has died, it will drop as an edible item. The goldfish heals as much as a brown/orange mushroom. It is used to make a Fish Bowl with 2 goldfish and one bottle.

Tip: Sometimes multiple fish spawn in one body of water, so if collecting the Fish Bowl, throw vile powder onto one of the goldfish to kill the rest and create the item Goldfish. (This is mostly for personal pools' that enemies can't/don't reach.)

As an item the goldfish has a description of "its smiling, might be a good snack." This may be a refrence to the slogan of the Goldfish brand crackers, "The snack that smiles back."

If a goldfish is without water, it will simply splash around on the ground. The goldfish will not die.

If you throw Vile Powder at a Goldfish, it will turn into a corrupted Goldfish, just like the bunny, having 100 HP

Also, Goldfish spawning in corrupted areas have a chance to spawn already corrupted. You can kill a Goldfish by getting rid of all of the water it is in, then it can be picked it up as a health item that restores 20 hp.
