Hikukiore

The Hikukiore is a mid-size predator fish. It is the Seashine version of the real grenadier fish, also called rat tail fish.

Description
The Hikukiore is a long fish looking like a swimming tail. It has a blue and shiny skin, white glowing eyes, and bioluminescent spikes on its dorsal fin and all along the bottom of its tail. These spikes are supposed to send a warning message to potential predators. Its bioluminescent side fins are relatively small compared to the overall size of its body. This is mainly due to the fact that the Hikukiore uses its strong and long tail for both movement and direction.

Spawning
The Hikukiore spawns mostly in the Pokapango biome mid game. It is neither rare or common.

Behavior
The Hikukiore is quite fast. It feeds on jellyfish and small or same size fish. Because of its very small teeth, it does not bite hard. The fish, however, has a good vision and, combined to its speed, it makes it a danger to stay aware of.

The fish will relentlessly pursue the player for a long time once spotted them. Keep moving or it will catch up. The eyes of the Hikukiore makes it easy to spot them in the dark. If possible, try to circle and not get close to them.

Behind the name
Because of its rat tail shape, the Ancients named it Hikukiore, which means "rat tail".
