'''Dai-gonarthis''' is believed to be one of the [[Unmade]],{{epigraph ref|sa3|113}} an ancient and terrible [[spren]] of [[Odium]].{{book ref|sa3|62}} He also seems to be known as the '''Black Fisher'''.{{epigraph ref|sa1|67}}
 
Little is known of Dai-gonarthis, even its gender is uncertain. [[Hessi]] posits in ''[[Mythica]]'' that it may have been somehow involved in the [[scouring of Aimia]] somehow, although she's unsure of the specifics are uncertain.{{epigraph ref|sa3|113}} She also expresses uncertainty that Dai-gonarthis isit's a member of the Unmade at all. However, it does seem likely that Dai-gonarthis is truly the final Unmade though, as in one of the [[Death Rattle|death rattles]]s collected by King [[Taravangian]]'s [[Silent Gatherer]]s, a dying woman mentions the name Dai-gonarthis.{{epigraph ref|sa1|67}}in Duringa onemanner ofsimilar histo conversationsa withdeath [[Dalinar Kholin]], therattle madabout [[JezrienRe-Shephir]], ina theconfirmed guise of Ahu, also references the Black Fisher, so there is likely some importance to Dai-gonarthisUnmade.{{bookepigraph ref|sa3sa1|8867}}
 
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 ==
* 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}}
