In Baldur’s Gate 3 players keep coming up with interesting ideas. Players are asking for an unusual addition: An army of fish people. MyMMO reveals what it’s all about.
Since the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 in August 2023, the community has repeatedly expressed their ideas for the game. One of the newest and perhaps most unusual demands concerns the ability to summon an army of fish people. Yes, you heard that right – fish people.
There’s currently a thread going around on Reddit where players are demanding the introduction of Kuo-Toa as summonable companions or as a playable race from the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios.
Players long for an army of fish people
Who are the Kuo-Toa, anyway? Kuo-Toa are essentially humanoid fish creatures found in both D&D and Baldur’s Gate 3. Their origin lies in the deep seas and waters, where they live in hidden cities and cults.
They are considered bizarre and cruel creatures that are extremely cunning. The Kuo-Toa were once slaves of the Mind Flayers but have freed themselves and gained the ability to manifest their gods through their own belief.
What exactly are the players asking for? A player suggests on Reddit that after becoming the Mahkloompah (the new god of the Kuo-Toa), there should be the option to summon an army of these unusual allies for the final battle.
The idea of a fish person army seems to resonate with many players. In the comments on the thread, players express their enthusiasm about the idea of charging into battle with a horde of Kuo-Toa. One player even says they would be willing to pay foolish sums of money
to get a Kuo-Toa DLC for Baldur’s Gate 3.
Another interesting aspect mentioned in the thread is the demand for a playable Origin Kuo-Toa. With the Fantastical Multiverse mod, you can at least travel through Faerûn as the fish folk Locathah.
Some players want to have the option to start as a Kuo-Toa. The relationship between a Kuo-Toa character and the other companions in the game could certainly lead to some interesting dialogues and storylines.
Where do I meet the Kuo-Toa? In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can encounter the Kuo-Toa at a hidden spot in the Underdark (X: 75, Y: -240) and become the fish god. They have created their god named BOOOAL, who is actually a redcap. Through the worship of the Kuo-Toa, he has become much stronger.
You can convince the people with skill checks that BOOOAL is not a real god. If you then kill BOOOAL, you can be named a god by the Kuo-Toa.
Note: If you instead offer a sacrifice to BOOOAL, one of your companions will die and remain permanently dead. In return, you will receive a permanent buff, giving you an advantage on attack rolls against bleeding targets.
You can also serve BOOOAL by killing for him. In return, he will give you a sickle that has the same effect as the buff – but is bound to the weapon.
Do you also like the Kuo-Toa this much? What do you think of the ideas? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
