Stats

Appearance

The Red Eyeye is identical to an Eyeye in all aspects aside from coloration:

• Its singular eye possesses a dull orange sclera and an intense red, orange, and yellow iris surrounding its black pupil.
• Its body is mostly dark green-yellow, with blue markings.
• Its fins emit bright orange bioluminescent glows.

Behavior

Red Eyeyes aimlessly swim around and will flee if approached by the player or shark-classified fauna. They are curious and will swim towards dead fauna and trap-classified fauna. Despite living in caves, Red Eyeyes become less active at night, making them easier to catch.

Data Bank Entry

Red Eyeye

A small herbivorous creature with poor maneuverability, evolved to inhabit high temperature environments.

1. Thermal Camouflage: Deep red and orange coloration enables this subspecies to blend into volcanic environments and reflect environmental thermal energy, thus rendering it almost invisible to most predators.

2. Thermal Vision: Delicate, light-based eyesight is impractical at these temperatures, and the red eyeye has developed thermal vision in its place. In this species' volcanic domain edible plant matter and potential predators are the coldest entities in range.

Assessment: Edible (low calorie count)
