Description
- "A legendary saltwater fish often referred to as a living fossil."
Location

- Sharks and Blue Marlin may also be caught at this location when fishing with Sardines.

Notes
- The "Fisherman's Gambit" quest chain serves as the only source of Fishing Skill increase. Attempting to catch anything larger than a Shaman Fish without sufficient fishing skill would cause the line to snap in a near instant.
Trivia
- Dunkleosteus is a genus of prehistoric fish which lived from 382 million to 358 million years ago. The reason why this extinct fish is extant in the setting of NieR is unknown.
- A Dunkleosteus is shown attempting to eat a disembodied Emil during the novella Around the World in 80 Days.
