Bladderfish (Subnautica)

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Airsack, formely known as the Bladderfish, is a life form belonging to the Fauna category. It is catchable and edible, mostly populating in the Safe Shallows. 

The Airsack stands out in comparison to other small fishes, as they can be used to craft filtered water. As a result, Airsacks are a good source of H2O, though behind disinfected water and Big Filtered Water.

Being slow and passive, Airsacks are easy to catch, especially during night time, when they are next to immobile due to their diurnal properties.

Appearance

The Airsack is a small creature comprised of a long, extremely thin main body with large translucent bladders on top and bottom. These bladders have slim tube-like structures protruding out from their outer edges, and they undulate as the Airsack moves.

The Airsack's head is bright orange and ovular in shape, possessing a pair of large eyes and no mouth. The air bladders have a faint violet bioluminescent glow.
