It acts as a distraction device to attract hostile creatures to it when deployed, giving the player the opportunity to escape whilst the creatures are distracted. It can be deployed by hand or from the Cyclops. The Data Box containing the blueprint for the Creature Decoy can be found in Lifepod 4 and the Underwater Islands Wreck.

Uses

To deploy a Creature Decoy from the Cyclops, there must be a decoy stored inside the Decoy Loading Tube. The decoy can be deployed while piloting the Cyclops by pressing the decoy button located in the top right of the Cyclops' HUD. When a Creature Decoy is launched from the Cyclops, it is displayed as a yellow orb on the Cyclops' hostile creature display.

A Cyclops Decoy Tube Upgrade will increase the capacity of the Decoy Loading Tube, allowing multiple Creature Decoys to be loaded at once.

One of the recent game bugs are the Ultra Glide Fins spawning in place of the Creature Decoy at Lifepod 4. A way to fix this is saving the game, then re-open the game.

If after that, the fins are still there, Try looking in the spawn locations of the Ultra Glide Fins.
