Six unique limb appendages feature charged pads capable of ionizing the surrounding water.

― PDA, Dialogue

The Hoverfish is a passive life form belonging to the fauna category. It is catchable and edible.

The Hoverfish mainly populates the Kelp Forest, where it slowly swims around the Creepvines, or hovers above patches of seagrass.

Appearance

The Hoverfish has a teardrop shaped body with three legs on each side for a total of six. On its head are two black eyes and a wide mouth. The legs each have a small, circular pad surrounded by a thin, transparent membrane along the edges.

The Hoverfish's skin is mostly green in color, except for its back which features blue-white speckles. The dorsal dots, along with it's padded appendages, are capable of emitting bright bioluminescent glows.

Behavior

As its name implies, the Hoverfish "hovers" in the water currents between the Creepvines, and "swims" rather slowly.

Upon being approached by the player, the creature will not flee.
