+# Triops+ ++ +The Triops is a small, edible fauna species which can be found in the deepest biomes of Sector Zero.+ +## Overview+ +| Property | Details |+| :--- | :--- |+| **Category** | Fauna |+| **Diet** | Herbivore |+| **Attitude** | Passive |+| **Respawn Time** | 300 seconds |+| **Debug ID** | triops |+ +### Habitat+ +The Triops can be found in the following biomes:+* Crystal Caves+* Main Crystal Caves+* Crystal Castle+* Deep Lilypads Cave+* Deep Twisty Bridges+* Fabricator Caverns+* Koppa Mining Site+* Tree Spires+* Tree Spires Fissure+ +## Appearance+ +The Triops has a pale blue cone-shaped body, with the point at the posterior end. The skin has a scaly texture and appears to be attached to the body as thick plates with sutures between.+ +The front of the body is occupied by three large eyes, two lower eyes and one upper eye. The three eyes all face slightly different angles and are odd in their design. The surface of the eye that bares the pupil, iris and sclera is flat, whilst the cornea is a large transparent hemispheric structure.+ +There are three roughly triangular fins with yellow accents situated at 120 degree intervals around the body. On the bottom of the body is a very flattened beak-like structure that is shiny black in colour.+ +Triops shares its name with a genus of Earth crustacean.+ +## Databank Entry+ ++ +**Triops**+ +An effective bottom-feeder with unusual trioptical vision.+ +* Mouth parts on the underside hoover up and crunch down on small invertebrates on the sea floor+* Spending much of its time hiding from predators above it is camouflaged to blend in with the surrounding terrain when necessary+ +Forward-facing eyes are unusual in prey creatures, not least three of them. Each eye however is angled slightly outwards, which gives the triops a field of view of almost 240 degrees. Careful use of this powerful faculty is likely what has kept the triops alive to date.+ +**Assessment:** Edible+**Source:** Scan+ +## Design+ +Despite being named after a group of real crustaceans of the same name, the Triops has no similarities to these creatures at all aside from the number of eyes, which is where the name comes from.+ +However, the three triangular fins, the bottom placed mouth for feeding, and the blade like tail all seem to be very similar to that of the Chimaera.+ +## Uses+ +The Triops can be caught and consumed or processed for resources.+ +### Raw Triops+ +| Property | Value |+| :--- | :--- |+| **Type** | Food & Water |+| **Description** | Small, edible prey fish. |+| **Food** | +4 |+| **Water** | -3 |+| **Bioreactor** | +350 Energy |+| **Size** | 1 (1×1) |+| **Debug ID** | triops |+ +### Cooked Triops+ +| Property | Value |+| :--- | :--- |+| **Type** | Food & Water |+| **Description** | It's a bottom-feeder, and it tastes like it. |+| **Food** | +13 |+| **Water** | +5 |+| **Bioreactor** | +236.25 Energy |+| **Size** | 1 (1×1) |+| **Debug ID** | cookedtriops |+ +### Cured Triops+ +| Property | Value |+| :--- | :--- |+| **Type** | Food & Water |+| **Description** | Good fish tastes like the sea.

This indicates that it is more than likely actually a scavenger.
