Triops

The Triops is an upcoming small fauna species that will be found in Subnautica: Below Zero. Developer checkins have shown that the Triops is an edible creature.

Appearance
The Triops has a pale blue cone-shaped body, with the point at the posterior end. The skin has a scaly texture and appears to be attached to the body as thick plates with sutures between.

The front of the body is occupied by three large eyes, two lower eyes and one upper eye. The three eyes all face slightly different angles and are odd in their design. The surface of the eye that bares the pupil, iris and sclera is flat, whilst the lense is a large transparent hemispheric structure.

There are three roughly triangular fins with yellow accents situated at 120 degree intervals around the body. On the bottom of the body is a very flattened beak-like structure that is shiny black in colour.

Design
Despite being named after a group of real crustaceans of the same name, the Triops has no similarities to these creatures at all aside from the number of eyes, which is where the name comes from.
