It resides mainly in the **Kelp Forest**, where it slowly swims around the Creepvines or hovers above patches of seagrass.+ +## Appearance+ +The Hoverfish has a teardrop-shaped body with six legs, three on each side. On its head are two black eyes, two small nostrils, and a broad mouth, resembling the face of a frog or toad. The legs each have a small, circular pad surrounded by a thin, transparent membrane along the edges.+ +The Hoverfish's body is mostly light green, except for its back, which features blue-white speckles. Its legs are pale turquoise and its pads are yellow. The dorsal speckles, along with its padded appendages, are capable of emitting bright bioluminescent glows.+ +++++ +## Behavior+ +The Hoverfish aimlessly swims around and will flee if approached by the player or shark-classified fauna. Hoverfish are curious and will swim towards dead fauna and trap-classified fauna. They become less active at night, making them easier to catch.+ +## Uses+ +### Food & Water+ +Hoverfish can be consumed raw, cooked, or cured to restore hunger and hydration.+ +#### Raw Hoverfish+- **Food:** +8+- **Water:** -9+ +#### Cooked Hoverfish+Crafted using the Fabricator:+- **Ingredients:** Hoverfish ×1, Salt Deposit ×1+- **Description:** Firm, low-fat reptilian flesh.+- **Food:** +23+- **Water:** +3+ ++ +#### Cured Hoverfish+Crafted using the Dehydrator:+- **Ingredients:** Hoverfish ×1+- **Description:** The crispy, salty legs are the highlight.
