Hoverfish

The Hoverfish is a life form belonging to the fauna category.

Its attitude is passive and it is very slow. The Hoverfish can be caught and cooked but can also be eaten raw.

Its home lies in the Kelp Forest, where it hovers in small patches of grass or above the ground during daytime. At night it actively floats around.

Appearance
The Hoverfish has a small and short body which is round and has three legs on each side of the body. The legs each have small, yellow, circular plates, which are surrounded by a ring of transparent swimming skin along the edges. The Hoverfish's skin is mostly green and light green, except for its back, which features a white dotted pattern with a blue line around each dot. The Hoverfish has two black eyes in the front and a small, toothless mouth. Its white dots and yellow feet are bioluminescent.

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.
