Bladderfish (Subnautica)

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Airsack (in early builds called the Bladderfish) is a life form belonging to the fauna category. 

It is catchable, harvestable and can be eaten raw. They are most found in the Safe Shallows biome. They stand out in comparison to other small fish, as they can be used to craft filtered water, which fills up 20 H2O. As a result, Airsacks are the second best source of H2O, after disinfected water. When in Freedom mode, you can click on it to replenish your oxygen.

Its speed is rather low and its attitude is passive, making it easy to catch. It is especially easy to catch during nighttime, when they are next to immobile due to their diurnal (dayactive) properties.

Appearance

The Airsack is a small fish that is comprised of a long, extremely thin main body with large translucent bladders on the top and bottom. These bladders have slim blue spines extending up from their outer edges, and they throb and undulate as the Airsack moves. The Airsack's head is bright orange and ovular in shape, possessing no discernible mouth and a pair of large eyes. Its bladders also appear to have a dull bioluminescent glow.

Data Bank Entry

1. Semi-permeable membrane: Body consists of an oxygen- and water-filled, semi-permeable membrane. No oral cavity detected. Membrane may filter plant matter from the water.
2. Open-ended vascular tubing: Can be angled and contracted to pump out water and achieve low-velocity, guided propulsion. No fins identified.
3. Mostly oblivious threats, its only identified defense mechanism: it is 95% cartilage.

Assessment: Membrane may have applications as a natural water filter
