Cuddlefish

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

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

At the end of the Cutefish'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 Cutefish 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 '''Cutefish. '''

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

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

Future Plans

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

Trivia

 * The sounds of the Cutefish are akin to those of a human baby.
 * The Cutefish was originally the first Crashfish, as seen in Concept Art, however, the developers thought that it was "too cute", and thus, created the Crashfish, and made the Cutefish 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 Cutefish puffs up in it's concept art.
 * On the Sketchfab page, Cutefish is spelled "Qute Fish." This is a result of the modeler misspelling it, as English was not their native language.
 * A Cutefish egg can be found on Sketchfab.
 * Before it was decided that the Cutefish would be a pet, it was planned to be a Twisty Bridges creature.
 * The name "Cute Fish" is likely temporary.
