The Sea Monkey Baby is a small passive fauna species and the juvenile form of the Sea Monkey. It hatches from a Sea Monkey Egg when placed in an Alien Containment module. After a bit more time in the Alien Containment, it will become a fully grown Sea Monkey.
Appearance
The Sea Monkey Baby is very small and almost entirely purple in colour, with a pale stripe running down either side of the body. The body is rounded and the eyes appear similar to those of the adult Sea Monkey though they are shiny white rather than yellow.
The arms are more flipper-like in the baby, not yet having fully developed joints or fingers. The body also lacks the fins that run down the body of the adult, having undeveloped ridges in their place. The head crest has a white pattern in the centre which glows bright yellow green in the dark; this is absent in the adult.
Sea Monkey Babies can be picked up by the player.
Design
The Sea Monkey Baby's appearance is similar to a dolphin embryo.
