However, this was changed as the developers did not have time to implement the Special Edition. For a while during development, the Cuddlefish was going to be a pet only given to Early Access players or those buying the Special Edition.Before it was decided that the Cuddlefish would be a pet, it was planned to spawn in the Twisty Bridges.The Cuddlefish was originally meant to have the role of the Crashfish, as seen in the Concept art however, the developers thought that it was 'too cute' and thus created the Crashfish, and made the Cuddlefish a pet.On the Sketchfab page, Cute Fish was misspelled as 'Qute Fish.' This was a result of the modeller misspelling it, as English was not their native language.The Cuddlefish's original name was Cute Fish.

As was observed in earth dolphins before their extinction, this creature seems to understand the concept of other minds, the prime indicator of true sentience, and attempts to communicate with a series of chirps and chirrups.Įvidence suggests the cuddlefish is capable of understanding and following simple commands, in addition to assessing the emotional state of individuals around it and responding in kind.Īssessment: Emotional connection between living creatures is an essential component of psychological health We do know that the cuddlefish is a herbivore which displays highly social behavior in its interspecies interactions. It is also possible the cuddlefish has been genetically altered, or even imported to 4546B from another world. It is possible that environmental conditions have changed, forcing the species to the edge of extinction, and leaving its eggs in permanent stasis. In the absence of wild specimens little can be known for certain about the cuddlefish's lifecycle. Strangely this species has not been encountered in the wild, and the scanned specimen had to be artificially hatched within an alien containment unit. It goes as said: the Cuddlefish will wrap a tentacle around the player’s hand and rest their head on it.Īlthough it is possible to have many Cuddlefish in a single Alien Containment unit, they will not breed, unlike all other fauna species that can be kept in one.Ī small, gray-colored herbivore, the cuddlefish displays high levels of intelligence, curiosity and attachment. Spoiler alert: The following section contains story related material.Īfter the player has built the Neptune Escape Rocket Cockpit they can 'Say Farewell' to Cuddlefish using RMB. It has various play actions, such as high fives, magic tricks, or cuddles, and will display various emotions depending on said action. The player can tell it to stop/start following them using RMB. The Cuddlefish will either follow the player around or stay in one area when told to. The Cuddlefish uses its tentacles to propel itself and mostly swims around darting in circles and letting out various chirping noises, as well as occasionally swimming over to investigate objects that interest it such as small fauna or Fragments. When close to hatching the baby inside can be seen trying to break out of the egg.

The Cuddlefish embryo inside has a similar patterning to the adult Cuddlefish, but with a light blue color instead of grey.

The coloring of the egg's outer membrane is primarily light brown, with dark brown spots near the bottom.

A small embryo is visible inside the egg. The Cuddlefish Egg consists of a round, transparent outer membrane with three small bumps on the bottom. The Cuddlefish's head has two slightly bulging, forward-facing eyes, along with a wide mouth and two small holes that seem to be nostrils.Īt the end of the Cuddlefish's body, there are five tentacles that have the same grey and white color pattern. Its body also features many small, wart-like lumps. It has a slightly bloated belly and possesses no dorsal or caudal fins, sporting only a stubby pair of pectoral fins. The Cuddlefish's body is small, grey in color on the dorsal side, with white bioluminescent coloring on the ventral side, and a white stripe running along the length of its body from the top of its head to its rear-side.
