Players wearing a Ring of Charos (a) can trade a raw bass to the spirit named Fossegrimen located at her sacrifice altar south of Rellekka as a replacement for a raw shark to enchant their lyre.

A cooked bass is sometimes dropped by blue dragons, green dragons, elves, terror dogs, ankous, grotworms and are a possible reward from a Gourmet impling jar. Its noted form can sometimes be found inside barrels.

Bass are not frequently fished, as it is a bit unpredictable how many the player will get in one haul, and are frequently caught with items like caskets and seaweed. It is coloured similar to a salmon, and it's shaped like a tuna. It also has the same examine info as a tuna.
