Catfish
From Tomb Raider Wiki
There is a harmless catfish in Tomb Raider Anniversary, which swims ahead of Lara and shows her the way in a few of the underwater sections, such as in the City of Vilcabamba, Tomb of Tihocan, Temple of Khamoon, Obelisk of Khamoon, Sanctuary of the Scion and Natla's Mines. In those locations the Catfish can been seen, Catfish helps Lara find her way around underwater areas.
Charlie is its fan-given nickname and usually appears swimming alongside or ahead Lara for a few seconds, before burrowing into the sand.
