Reliance on visually identifying predators may leave it vulnerable in low-light environments.

The Pdy being mainly a bluish hue. Its head is comprised of a yellow, beak-like mouth in the front, and a pair of large eyes situated on both sides of the head. The eyes feature black pupils with bright bioluminescent yellow sclerae and brown irises. It is also noteworthy that the Peeper has eyelids.

It has a small caudal fin. There are three holes running along on each side of the body that resemble gills. It has two tube-like organs that extend from its body to the top and the bottom of its head, resembling backward-facing jets propelling it forward, and leaving water trails (visible at night) when it does so.

Behavior

The Peeper is mostly active during the day, often seen jumping out of the water. At night, it seems to rest more though still being somewhat active. It can be heard making chirping-like noises when swimming.

Peepers can be seen being chased by Stalkers, being its preferred prey.
