What is the name of the green fish with buck teeth that appears as an easter-egg in numerous videogames?

Dopefish Lives!!!


That's dope as in stupid, not dope as in...well, anything else. Dopefish was the creation of Tom Hall, co-founder of legendary first-person shooter studios, id Software (Doom, Quake) and ION Storm (Deus Ex, Anachronox). Hall, when working on Commander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy in 1990, sketched a "stupid little fish," and Dopefish was born.





Dopefish has appeared in more games than John Madden, counting Quake, Battlezone, Max Payne, Hitman 2, and SiN Episodes: Emergence among his (her? who knows?) credits.








It's Dopefish!








Although Dopefish's debut appearance in Goodbye Galaxy was as an enemy, these days it's more usually seen in hidden rooms, graffiti, posters, or secret text -- often accompanied by the catchy slogan "DOPEFISH LIVES!!!"
