Jetfish

Jetfish are neutral, aquatic Creatures found exclusively in (and for, near) Shoreline.

Appearance
Jetfish have medium-sized black bodies and two neon purple eyes. Framing their bodies are shorter pectoral fins, longer tail fins with joints at the midpoints and a vent which expels water, around which the tail fins are draped. Their eyes are ring-like in water, but constrict and take on a much smaller, circular shape when on land. Additionally, their heads may sometimes sport whiskers.

Utility
Jetfish are by far the quickest way to move through water, and even grant immunity to leeches, both of which are incredibly useful properties for moving through Shoreline. However, they must be grabbed onto first in order to be used, which can prove challenging due to their deft movement and (by default) harassing behaviour towards. Due to this, care must be taken to approach them, especially when in groups. Blue Fruit, when dropped into the surface of the water, lures them up, granting an opportunity to grab on.

Diet
Jetfish may grab onto and eat, , and   Leeches. Despite never appearing in the same Regions naturally, Jetfish can also eat s. These may all be used to lure Jetfish into certain areas.

Harassment
Jetfish attempt to harass the player at default and lower reputation. They ram into Slugcat, temporarily stunning and knocking any items or creatures (including even other Jetfish caught in the crossfire) out of their hands. This behavior is much more dangerous in packs, and a group can easily stunlock an unsuspecting passerby, resulting in their drowning.

Swimming
When grabbed, Jetfish provide a substantial boost to mobility in water. They're fairly responsive and don't make many movements on their own, allowing for safe passage through flooded tunnels that are impassable alone. They're also quicker than s, which makes traversing the long stretches of water in Shoreline they're found in considerably safer. The jet of liquid they expel creates a large amount of momentum, which can be used to propel through the air. As a drawback, Jetfish are very cumbersome when held on land, and too heavy to be carried up poles by and. They are also considered "two-handed" and other items cannot be held in conjunction with them unless bugs are used.

Variants & attributes
Jetfish's pectoral fins can take on a variety of shapes whereas their tail fins vary only in length, thickness and joint angle. The same is true for the 0-3 sets of whiskers found at the fronts of their bodies, which may also protrude in different directions.

Trivia

 * Jetfish are immune to Leeches, and extend this immunity to Slugcat when riding one.
 * Jetfish do have reputation but it is broken, resulting in it being only possible to lose reputation with them.
 * They are still influenced by AllRep.
 * Jetfish do a small amount of damage when ramming, meaning it's possible for them to accidentally kill each other when harassing other creatures.
 * The Hunter is strong enough to perform a slide pounce while holding a Jetfish. Doing so causes them to travel approximately two and a half times farther compared to a normal slide pounce. This property can be used to easily obtain the [[File:Jellyfish icon.png]] Jellyfish Arena unlock.
 * Two albino Jetfish can be found in Subterranean as Hunter.
 * Bubble Fruit and Blue Fruit reflect thrown [[File:Spear icon.png]] Spears. They retain this quality when grabbed by a Jetfish, giving it the potential to be a makeshift shield.
 * A dead Jetfish retains the eye shape it had before death, both in water and on land.
