The Tainted Barracuda that comes on land is part of the druid epic quest. If you kill the Tainted Barracuda he will spawn the Corrupted Barracuda. The Tainted Barracuda that spawns the corrupted Barracuda is the only that will come up on land.

_I think it was a way to tell if you had a real one or a fake one, just tag it an pull it up to land if it followed, just kill it and it would spawn the corrupted.

This is confirmed classic. I distinctly remember this tactic being utilized for the druid epic.

Now if only we could get classic projectile flight time / collision functioning. We could do the druid strategy where you stand behind Deep NPC as the Aqua goblins shoot arrows at you, Deep would get hit and immediately own the Aqua goblins.
