The warrior darter (Etheostoma bellator) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. It is endemic to the eastern United States , where it occurs in the Black Warrior River system above the fall line in Mulberry Fork, Locust Fork, and Valley creek, Alabama. It inhabits small and medium-sized rubble-strewn streams, in slow to fast current over substrates of bedrock, cobble, or gravel; moderately flowing cobble riffles; and shallow pools over coarse gravel above riffles.[2]
