Cuddlefish

The Cute Fish is a Life Form that has not been implemented yet.

The Cute Fish will be available as a pet for players who bought the early access version of Subnautica.

In its current state, the Cute Fish appears to follow the player around, although its swimming animation is incomplete. Its model seems to be broken or glitched, as is it constantly pointing downwards. The concept art shows that the Cute Fish may swell up and explode either on contact or when threatened, like the Crash.

Early animations for the Cute Fish can be viewed here.

Some development material refer to the Cute Fish as the "Qute Fish". It is unknown if this is intentional.

Appearance
The Cute Fish is dark brown on the top and has a white belly. It has five tentacles with the same color pattern at the rear of its body for propulsion: three at the top rear and two at the bottom rear. It also prominently bears a white stripe running from the front of its head and down its back.

The Cute Fish's eyes are black with a white rim around it. It has wrinkles around its eyes and neck. Its smiling mouth has teeth similar to that of a human's. It has two small stumps that serve as its snout.

The Cute Fish's skin is dotted and has several short lumps all over it. Two pectoral fins reside on either side of its torso.
