There are four types of fish scales!

Cycloid scales are thin, overlap, and flexible. They're found on primitive teleosts (like minnows and carp).

Ctenoid scales have small, backwards pointed scales (known as cterns) make the fish more hydrodynamic and faster. They're found on Advanced Ctenoids (like perch and sunfish).

Ganoid scales are thick, diamond-shaped, and mostly non-overlapping. They're found on Chondrostei (like sturgeons and paddlefish).

Placoid scales are spikey and tooth-like with nerves. These are found on Chondrichthyes (like sharks and rays).

I took my second ADHD pill a little too late I guess because it was suddenly 4 am and I made this thing about why parasitic organisms are shaped like ways and how to consider that for your fiction settings. Raw text version below the cut for people with busted seeing:

Shinl’un are an interstellar species of mollusks, with an unknown planet of origin. They are capable of communicating through both telepathy and color changes in the luminescent faceted eyes. They are also known for being capable of using other species as the holders for their eggs, as long as their body temperature is sufficient. Often solitary Shinl’un offer members of other species a trade offer in which they ageee to carry their brood in exchange for the material goods. As the newborn Shinl’uns are basically sentient from birth, and capable of caring for themselves, surrogate parent are free from caring about them after they were born.

Yuko-yuko are a primitive civilisation of humanoid reptilians from the jungles of the planet Michou. The color of their skin had evolved to mimic rose coloring of the Michoan vegetation. They live in a small Forrest communities, usually using tools made of flint, and wood. While possessing a language they however unfamiliar with fire, and lack any kind of social organisation more complicated than a familial tribe.

Transparent Mosts, are the ghastly creatures of the underground caverns of the planetoid Mingvar. They are notable as a species not only due to the fact that their skin is completely transparent allowing to see their internal organs but also for the fact that they lack any kind of skeletal or muscular structure. Relying solely on hydraulics of the liquids inside their limbs to move. Apparently they used to have bones in the early stages of their evolution, yet they slowly disappeared possibly due to the need for fitting themselves in a narrow crevices of the underground environment. However them lacking any internal structures similar to a skeleton isn’t true. Their organs are held in place by a fibre known as a Calceoform capable of keeping their organs in place, as well as changing its firmness based on the needs of the Most.

Mielians are two related species of the planet Miel known as xic’tzo (The wild talkers) and Üzzur’tzo (city talkers). As it comes from the name both species are capable of speaking, and constructive thoughts, yet only Üzzur had created any kind of civilisation, compared to Xic which apparently just never wanted to live their brethren’s civilised life. In fact Xic, due to their animalistic appearance have intellectual capability equal to their urban relatives, yet they adhere to a certain philosophy in which they see themselves as not fit for a “civilised” living, due to certain natural order. In the common Tzo worldview, Xic, are allowed of much more things than Üzzur. For example they are allowed to kill both Üzzur and other Xic. That however isn’t a very common occurrence. Usually Xic live on the edges of the civilised world very rarely interacting with Üzzur, that are trying to treat Xic with respect, often bringing them ritualised offerings, so Xic won’t slaughter their cattle or ravage the fields.

Arfils are the tall humanoids of the desert planet arfil. Which are believed to derive from humans many millennia ago. They posses skin flaps all throughout their bodies which they use to cool themselves on especially hot days. Long ago their planet was an ocean world teeming with life, however due to certain cataclysm, their world’s oceans were gone. In all the historical records they posses, however there is strangely no mentions of this cataclysm. That contrasts with the evidence that in the relatively recent past their planet indeed was an ocean world, with the remains of marine life, and withered coral forests being scattered all throughout it…
