Spinefish (Below Zero)

The Spinefish is a small, passive subspecies of the Hoopfish. Its in-game description states that it uses its appearance to hide from predators by playing dead. The Spinefish is likely a placeholder creature in Subnautica: Below Zero.

Like Hoopfish, Spinefish are cathemeral and easy to catch, having moderate Food values.

Appearance
The Spinefish closely resembles a Hoopfish, with some notable differences:
 * It has an almost translucent body, with many vertical stripes running along, capable of emitting a pale green glow. It also features small red spots around its eyes and near its tail.
 * Its eyes are yellowish green in color, and its caudal fin is a dull red hue.

Behavior
Similar to its relative, the Spinefish is slow-moving and tends to form shoals. Upon being noticed by the player, it will try to flee.

Trivia

 * Although the databank entry states that Spinefish plays dead by laying on the seabed, this behaviour is absent in-game.
 * The databank entry also shows that the Spinefish is blind.
