Yes, that's right on the maneuverability.

I'll leave it to Shade to decide whether to swap it out or not, since I like the Dex-dependent version.

Ppon reflection, I now prefer a narrower middling manoeuvrability range that Dex 5-16 for the Cleon Special version. Maybe 7-14 (i.e. its aerial manoeuvrability shifts up at Dex 15+ Dex and down at 6-.

That's a bit academic, since you lot prefer it purely size-dependent.

You've got all the Generic Air Fish to update into Magical Beasts, as per my updated Working Drafts:

Generic Air Fishes
Generic Air Fish Swarm & Air Goldfish

You've already sorted out the shark in the template's sample creature.

That's really about it, though.

We've got some Specific Air Fish to do, haven't we, like the Neons?

Is there anything special about them? It seems the generic swarm should serve them just fine.

Well they have a very slow fly speed and perfect manoeuvrability, and being 2 inches long they ought to be Fine sized.

I think we could stretch a point and get away with using the Diminutive Generic Swarm for them, or maybe do them with a subentry.

What about the highly territorial and aggressive Air Catfish? That seems nastier than the Generic Tiny Air Fish we've got. It also doesn't seem to have any "non-air" equivalent, since the only D&D catfish I can find stats for are the giant varieties.

Maybe a Tiny-ised, flying, dire version of the Giant Catfish?

Then do a swarm of them.
