The Hoverfish is a small, passive, herbivorous fauna species. It resides mainly in 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 six legs, three on each side. On its head are two black eyes, two small nostrils and a broad mouth, resembling the face of a frog. 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 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, smile and shake its head in fear when being held.

Hoverfish can be found around Reefback Leviathans, usually in groups of two or three.

A small, cautious herbivore, commonly found in kelp-rich environments.
