Cuddlefish

The Cute Fish is an in-development passive life form belonging to the fauna category that has yet to be implemented.

Appearance
The Cute Fish's body is small, grey in color on the dorsal side and dull white on the ventral side. It has a sightly bloated belly and possesses no dorsal or caudal fins, sporting only a stubby pair of pectoral fins. On its body also features many small, wart-like lumps.

The Cute Fish's head has two black, slightly bulging eyes, along with a relatively small mouth.

At the end of the Cute Fish's body grows out five tentacles having the same body color pattern. A white stripe is seen running along the length of its body, from the top of its head to its rear-side.

Behavior
The Cute Fish will use its tentacles to propell itself in any direction and will swim around aimlessly on its own, but it will group together with other '''Cute Fish. '''

The Cute Fish seems to have a fear of the Stalker, and can be observed quickly swimming away if it gets close to one.

The Cute Fish will follow the player around, darting in circles and letting out various chirping noises.

Future Plans

 * In the future, The Cute Fish will be available as a pet for players having bought the early access version of Subnautica. The Cute Fish will be able to interact with the Player, able to perform various actions, such as "high fives" or "cuddles".

Trivia

 * The sounds of the Cute Fish are akin to those of a human baby.
 * The Cute Fish was originally the first Crash, as seen in Concept Art, however, the developers thought that it was "too cute", and thus, created the Crash, and made the Cute Fish a special edition pet.
 * 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 it's concept art.
