The Noot Fish is a small, edible fauna species. The general body shape and fin position of the Noot Fish seem to show that it is a relative of the Brinewing.

Appearance

The Noot Fish 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 center, and contains seven rows of spikes stretching from the rim to the mouth in the center 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 Noot Fish'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 Noot Fish is largely purple in colour, 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 resembling that of an octopus, surrounded by an inner blue ring and an outer orange ring. Behind the eyes are what appear to be orange external gills stretching about the vertical length of the eye up the body.

Behavior

The Noot Fish 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 Noot Fish will flare out its mouth veil into a disk shape in an attempt to startle the aggressor.

Design

The Noot Fish's extendable veil might have been inspired by the real-life sarcastic fringehead.
