Hoverfish

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

The Hoverfish populates the Kelp Forest, where it slowly swims around the Creepvines, or hovers on patches of seagrass.

Appearance
The Hoverfish has a short, round body, with three legs on each side for a total of six. On its head are two black eyes and a visible mouth. The legs each have a small, circular pad surrounded by a thin, transparent membrane along the edges, which it seems to use for locomotion.

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