The '''olive flounder''' is a [[fish]] in the {{SER}} introduced in {{DnMe+}}. It appears as a large shadow (medium in {{CF|short}}, very large in {{NH|short}}) in the [[sea]] all day long, all year long. It is very similar in appearance to the [[dab]], another saltwater fish, which is even joked about by the [[player]] in its [[catch quote]]s in {{WW|short}} and {{NL|short}} respectively.

The olive flounder is a fish in the Animal Crossing series introduced in Doubutsu no Mori e+. It appears as a large shadow (medium in City Folk, very large in New Horizons) in the sea all day long, all year long. It is very similar in appearance to the dab, another saltwater fish, which is even joked about by the player in its catch quotes in Wild World and New Leaf respectively.

Donating to the museum[edit]

As with all bugs and fish in the Animal Crossing series, the olive flounder can be donated to the museum by talking to Blathers. During a donation, Blathers will tell the player a bit about the donation. Below is what he has to say.

In Doubutsu no Mori e+[edit]


In Wild World[edit]

Blathers has this to say about the olive flounder in Animal Crossing: Wild World:

"For some time, I was convinced that olive flounder tasted of olives. It turned out that it was a rather elaborate joke played upon me... I should have known there are no such things as flounder olives, either!"

In City Folk[edit]

Upon donating the olive flounder in Animal Crossing: City Folk, Blathers will say the following dialogue:

"Olive flounders are masters of self-transformation... who, I'm told, can grow to almost 40 inches (a meter) long. That's like some sort of underwater bath mat! It's a good thing you caught this one while it's still young!"

It can be found in the tank at the back of the aquarium, hiding underneath the sand, with other sea fish.

In New Leaf[edit]

The information board in front of the tank that holds the olive flounder says the following:

"Olive flounders are rather flexible whitefish that have both eyes on the left side of their body. They can reach three feet in length and are commonly mistaken for dabs, a close relative. When young, they have an eye on each side, but as they age, their right eye migrates to their left side. These carnivorous fish can change color to camouflage themselves on the seabed as they wait for prey."

In New Horizons[edit]

When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" in New Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:

"Did you know that the olive flounder is the same shape as other fish when it hatches? But as it grows, it gets both wider and flatter and can reach some three feet long. These flat fish spend much of their lives buried under the sandy ocean floor, waiting for prey to happen by. Imagine the surprise for said prey when they strike. It would be as if your kitchen floor were to bite you."

Fishing Tourney[edit]

During a Fishing Tourney, when given an olive flounder, Chip will say the following dialogue.

In City Folk[edit]

"I like to go with a spicy, blackened filet with olive flounder. So should you. Nyuuuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!"

In New Leaf[edit]

"Olive flounder—BOY, are they tasty! In fact, I'm just gonna go ahead and scarf this guy down right this very second! I can hardly wait! YUM!"

Real-world information[edit]
