Cuddlefish

Template:Class 2 FaunaThe Cute Fish is a passive species of fauna that can only be seen by hatching one of the Cute Fish Eggs hidden in various biomes.

Appearance

The Cute Fish's body is small, grey in color on the dorsal side, with a white bioluminescent coloring on the ventral side, and a white stripe running along the length of its body, from the top of its head to its rear-side. It has a sightly bloated belly and possesses no dorsal or caudal fins, sporting only a stubby pair of pectoral fins. Its body also features many small, wart-like lumps.

The Cute Fish's head has two slightly bulging, forward facing eyes, along with a wide mouth and two small holes that seem to be nostrils.

At the end of the Cute Fish's body there are five tentacles that have the same grey and white body color pattern.

Behavior

The Cute Fish uses its tentacles to propel itself and mostly swims around darting in circles and letting out various chirping noises, as well as occasionally swimming over to investigate objects that interest it such as small fauna.

The Cute Fish either follow the player around or stay in one area when told to. The player can make it stop/start following them using RMB.

The player can play with it using LMB. It has various play actions, such as high fives or cuddles.

Future Plans

• The name "Cute Fish" is likely to be changed in the future.

Trivia

• The Cute Fish was originally meant to have the role of the Crashfish, as seen in the Concept Art; however, the developers thought that it was "too cute" and thus created the Crashfish, and made the Cute Fish a pet.
• Before it was decided that the Cute Fish would be a pet, it was planned to spawn in the Twisty Bridges.
• For a while during development, the Cute Fish was going to be a pet only given to Early Access players or those buying the Special Edition. However, this was changed as the developers did not have time to implement the Special Edition.
• It may have been inspired by the porcupine fish because of their similar faces, the spines on their bodies, and how the Cute Fish puffs up in its concept art.
• On the Sketchfab page, Cute Fish is spelled "Qute Fish." This is a result of the modeler misspelling it, as English was not their native language. ^{[Citation needed]}
