</group> </infobox> The Nootfish is a fauna species that will be found in Below Zero. The general body shape and fin position of the Nootfish seem to show that it is a relative of the Brinewing.

Appearance

The Nootfish posses a mouth that can expand from a compact resting position into a large circular veil. The outside of the mouth veil has a coloring of red, blue, purple, and yellow bands, arranged in that order from the base to the rim of the veil. The interior of the mouth veil is largely orange in color, broken up by a yellow band at the rim and a blue band in the centre, and contains seven rows of spikes stretching from the rim to the mouth in the centre of the veil.

Two pairs of comparatively large fins, mostly purple in color with blue stripes on the hind areas, are found on the lower section of the Nootfish's body. One smaller dorsal fin is located behind the head, also purple in color with a blue stripe on the underside and hind rim. The hind end of the body ends in a vertical fin, blue in color with purple spots along the back edge.

The body of the Nootfish is largely purple in color, with one pair of two blue bands and the upper section of the body and one blue band on the underside running from the tail to the mouth of the animal. On the front of the body is a large yellow eye, surrounded by an inner blue ring and an outer orange ring. Behind the eye is a thick orange stripe only travelling about the vertical length of the eye.

Behavior

The Nootfish is a small predator that lives off fish small enough for it to swallow whole. It attacks prey by expanding its mouth veil and engulfing the prey before eating it.

When a threat is encountered the Nootfish will quickly flare its mouth veil into a disk shape in an attempt to startle the aggressor.
