-	The '''e-marlin''' is a figurative [[Wikipedia:ASCII art|ASCII art]] [[Wikipedia:Marlin|marlin]] that is used in a fish-related metaphor by [[Strong Bad]] in the [[Strong Bad Email|Email]], [[dreamail]]. Strong Bad notes that while there are many "email-fish" out there in the "Email sea", most of them are "those nasty [[Wikipedia:Bottom feeder|bottom-feeders]] with the suckhole mouth" (probably referring to [[Wikipedia:Agnatha|jawless fish]]). However, once in a while a few of these email-fish break the glimmering surface of the water to glisten in the sunset for a few fleeting moments, such as the e-marlin. Subsequently, Strong Bad quickly ditches the fishing metaphor.	+

-	To see the e-marlin in an [[Easter egg]], one must click the word "e-marlin". It will jump up from the bottom of the [[Lappy 486]] screen in an arc, leaving several "\" and "/" splashes, and dive back down to wherever it came from.	+

-	It is impossible to exactly recreate the e-marlin in ASCII art as it appears in dreamail.	+
