'''Dai-gonarthis''' is believed to be one of the [[Unmade]],{{epigraph ref|sa3|113}} an unknownancient beingand mentionedterrible on[[spren]] of [[RosharOdium]].{{epigraphbook ref|sa1sa3|6762}} He appearsalso seems to also be calledknown as the '''Black Fisher'''.{{epigraph ref|sa1|67}}
 
Little is known of Dai-gonarthis. [[Hessi]] posits in ''[[Mythica]]'' that it may have been somehow involved in the [[scouring of Aimia]], although she's unsure of the specifics.{{epigraph ref|sa3|113}} She also expresses uncertainty that it's a member of the Unmade at all. However, it does seem likely that Dai-gonarthis is truly the final Unmade, as in one of the [[Death Rattle|death rattles]] collected by King [[Taravangian]]'s [[Silent Gatherer]]s, a dying woman mentions the name Dai-gonarthis in a manner similar to a death rattle about [[Re-Shephir]], a confirmed Unmade.{{epigraph ref|sa1|67}}
 
During one of his conversations with [[Dalinar Kholin]], the mad [[Jezrien]], in the guise of Ahu, also references the Black Fisher, lending further credibility to the theory that it is an important creature of Odium.{{book ref|sa3|88}}

== Trivia ==
It seems likely that he is an [[Unmade]], due to the similarities in his title and name to [[Yelig-nar]], a known Unmade.{{epigraph ref|sa1|45}} It also mentions the word "consume," which seems to be often used in connection with the Unmade.
* The name Dai-Gonarthis is most likely derived from [[wikipedia:Dagon|Dagon]], an ancient Canaanite deity later reimagined as a Lovecraftian sea god.{{url ref|url=https://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/62476-ob-unmade-name-linguistic-origins/|text=Unmade Name Linguistic Origins|site=17th Shard}}
