Re: A Beginner's Guide to /check
(1) Sea Horror is NOT fished up, he's a random lottery pop from the Sea Monks that spawn naturally on the Selbina/Mhaura Ferry (both directions).

(2) Yes, only fishable NMs like Apoolovik, Orobon, and Cyclopean Conch will check as impossible to gauge. Normal fished monsters check just like regular monsters; the only difference is that they spawn red to you when you fish them up unless you have Sneak up, and will not aggro other players.

For beginners, it's probably best to avoid most anything that checks as impossible to gauge unless you know what it is (and when in doubt, ask a friend). There are some notorious monsters that spawn in otherwise completely harmless settings that will smoke you just for looking at them the wrong way (Steelfleece and Bloodtear to anyone below level 70 in La Theine or Konschtat for instance).
