Jetfish

Jetfish are medium-sized squid-like creatures with purple eyes found primarily in Shoreline. They travel quickly through water using a sort of propulsion, and can breach the water using a small bit of water stored inside their guts. Although they seem to playfully harass the Slugcat, in larger groups they may attempt to aggressively drown it. As Hunter, an Albino Jetfish can be found in the body of water on the eastern side of the Subterranean region.

As with similarly to squidcadas, grabbing a Jetfish will help slugcat move in water at the cost of significant mobility on land. When holding a jetfish in the water, the player can direct the jetfish to swim at a high speed in any direction. Jetfish can be lured to the Slugcat by certain food items. The food items that lure Jetfish are popped Bubble Fruit, Blue Fruit and Batflies.

Tips

 * Jetfish tend to be more aggressive in groups. Lone jetfish will typically not harass slugcat at all, while groups of two to three will harass slugcat much more actively.
 * Be careful if you are trying to bring a neuron fly to Looks to the Moon, since Jetfish can dash into Slugcat and knock it out of slugcat's hands. Storing the fly in the slugcat's stomach pouch can safely avoid this.

Trivia

 * Neither variety of leech will attack Jetflish.
 * A Jetfish's eyes will grow larger underwater and shrink while above it -- killing one in either of these states will make it retain that eye shape no matter where it is placed.
 * Jetfish can kill other jetfish and will play with their corpses -- this may be because jetfish do a small amount of damage when hitting something else at high speeds.
 * Jetfish will actively hunt and kill Batflies, and will also eat dead ones by picking them up and bringing them back to their underwater dens.
 * Due to oversights in development, if the player performs a slidejump while holding a jetfish, they will travel approximately two and a half times farther than a normal slidejump. However, utilizing this is difficult outside of Hunter mode, as the Monk and Survivor cannot bring jetfish up poles.
