Reginald

Overview

The Reginald is a common, passive, herbivorous fauna species. Cooked and cured Reginald have the highest food value of any fauna, making them an excellent food source.

Stats

• Size: 1
• Bioreactor Energy: +490

Appearance

The Reginald is characterized by its slim, dull green, yet tall body which has two large eyes protruding from its sides. Its entire rear is composed of one large, bioluminescent, purple caudal fin. Its front features a set of four small slits in place of a mouth.

Behavior

Reginalds aimlessly swim around and will flee if approached by the player or a shark-classified fauna. Reginalds are curious and will swim towards dead fauna and trap-classified fauna. Reginalds become less active at night, making them easier to catch.

Trivia

• For a brief period early on in development, the name for Reginald was "Mohawk Fish".
• The Reginald is likely inspired by the aquatic family Molidae.
• The Reginald used to give the highest amount of power when put into the bioreactor, but in current versions of the game, the Reginald gives 490 power, while the Oculus gives 630.
