Future Plans

The concept art for the Twisty Bridges Biome suggests that Hoverfish will spawn there; however, it is not confirmed.

Data Bank Entry

Trivia

A message displayed by the PDA upon the player first acquiring a cooked Hoverfish suggests that the flavour of the meat leaves something to be desired.

-==Appearance==
+==Appearance and shake its head in fear when being held.==
-The '''Hoverfish''' has a teardrop-shaped body with six legs, three on each side. On its head are two black eyes and a broad mouth. The legs each have a small, circular pad surrounded by a thin, transparent membrane along the edges.
-The '''Hoverfish's''' body is mostly a light green in color, except for its back, which features blue-white speckles. Its legs are pale turquoise and its pads are yellow. The dorsal speckles, along with its padded appendages, are capable of emitting bright [[Bioluminescence|bioluminescent]] glows.
-==Behavior==
-As its name implies, the '''Hoverfish''' "hovers" in the water currents between the Creepvines, and "swims" rather slowly. When approached by the [[player]], the creature will not flee.
-The '''Hoverfish''' will approach other fish and push them around. It will also do this to the bodies of deceased fish.
-The '''Hoverfish '''appears to show the most emotion compared to other edible fauna, as it will blink, wiggle and shake its head in fear when being held.
 '''Hoverfish '''can be found around [[Reefback|Reefbacks]], usually in groups of two or three.
