Hoopfish (Subnautica): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:44, 11 April 2017

This article is about the Hoopfish. You may be looking for the Spinefish.

Template:Class 2 Fauna The Hoopfish is a common type of passive life form belonging to the fauna category that 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.

Small, school mentality prey fish with a distinct method of propulsion.

Antennae:
Rather than swimming this lifeform uses the fine green antennae which encircle its body to alter the composition of the water in front of it, allowing it to 'sail' into the low density space created.
Purple/Green Coloration:
May be a camouflage adaptation for mid-range light wavelengths, possibly indicating the hoopfish is more active at dawn and dusk.

Assessment: Edible

Trivia

There is a subspecies of the Hoopfish called the Spinefish that dwells exclusively in the Blood Kelp Zone and in the Lost River.
The Data Bank Entry for the Hoopfish states that it changes the compisition of the water infront of it to propel itself through the water. In spite of this the Hoopfish ingame still pumps it's tail like a normal fish when it moves.
