Hoverfish

The Hoverfish is a passive life form belonging to the fauna category. It is catchable and edible.

It populates the Kelp Forest, where it slowly swims around the Creepvines or hovers on small patches of algae.

Appearance
The Hoverfish has a short, round body, with three legs on each side. On its head are two black eyes and a visible mouth. The legs each have a small, circular pad, surrounded by a transparent membrane along the edges.

The Hoverfish's skin is mostly light green in color, except for its back which features blue-white speckles. The dorsal dots pattern, along with its padded appendages, are capable of emitting bioluminescent glows.

Data Bank Entry
Six unique limb appendages feature charged pads capable of ionizing the surrounding water. The Hoverfish appears to use this ability to maintain its position against the current as it feeds from kelp and lichen.

Assessment: Edible, a healthy staple
