Hoopfish (Subnautica)

Template:Edible FaunaThe Hoopfish is a very common type of life form belonging to the fauna category. They can be found in many biomes.

The Hoopfish is fairly easy to catch, as it doesn't retreat upon being approached by the player, and is easily recognized due to its bright bioluminescent glows.

Cooked Hoopfish have moderate food properties.

Appearance

The Hoopfish has a slim build, featuring a dark violet colored body that gradually transitions into blue towards the head, which has a bright neon green color. It has two green eyes, a small dorsal fin and a purple caudal fin that wraps around its end.

The Hoopfish's most distinct feature is the bright green bioluminescent antennae extending from the top and bottom of its head and bends around its tail, forming a hoop.
