The Suntail Deceit is actually a non-agressive fish dwelling in shallow, murky lakes. It got its name because if a fish or another creature were following its beautiful tail from behind, the suntail would turn around sharply and reveal its ugly face to scare them away. The suntail's teeth and jaws are only for show; their jaws are weak and fragile. And although their teeth are sharp, they are usually unable to bite and hold onto anything.
Suntails feed on the algae and other small vegetation growing in lakes. They grow up to 2 feet long, depending on the quality of their environment and diet. Because their upper bodies are weighed down by its heavy head and fins, suntails prefer to float lazily and only flap their fins to lift themselves up if they sink too low. Therefore, suntails are very easy to catch; especially because they do not fight back when taken out of the water. When cooked, their meat omits a very strong and fragrant odor, but most parts of the fish are poisonous.

If Poke'mon were realistic-looking, I believe this is how Gyarados would look. This guy is like a mixture of both Magikarp and Gyarados and it works really well. Maybe like a third form or something.
