Flipli

The Flipli is a small, round creature resembling a non-translucent water flea. Its default colors include blues and pinks, with the main body being mostly dark navy blue on top and pink underneath that fades into purple. It has two round blue eyes, a protruding snout, two pairs of whisker-like appendages, and a third pair of longer appendages ending in small bulbs, with another long pair above each eye. Bioluminescent dots are arranged in six vertical lines under its body, starting as light blue and fading into purple, capable of switching up to three colors when moving, in an up-down, front-back change wave pattern. Its back features thick swirly markings that begin as purple on top of its head and transition to a light blue swirl at each side of its body. Purple square-shaped markings are seen near the head and below the swirls, and rectangle-shaped markings lower down its back. The Flipli has three pairs of dark navy blue limbs situated lower down its body, each with three bioluminescent dots; the first pair has three light blue stubs for fingers, while the other pairs resemble flippers with a structure, similar in appearance to the fingers, at the ends. Additionally, its body ends in a short, narrow tail-like tip.

• They can be found in deep ocean waters, and tropical coral reefs! They can also be seen swimming around larger creatures!
• Flipli are pretty clueless, but like having fun and being silly! They can be found munching on tiny plants and algae, pecking at corals, and picking at detritus/marine snow. Some larger creatures come up to them to be cleaned and are gently pecked at to get rid of mites, parasites, algae, and more! They love rolling and tumbling around underwater, and are all around very cute! They can clean their whiskers similar to shrimp/some bugs, where they grab them and gently nibble on them.
• They use their lights to communicate through flashing and patterns! They do also chirp and meep. Perhaps this would be used to get the attention of others, or a form of play.
• They have a hard shell, with very squishy insides. Their tummy has a sturdy enough surface to keep it's shape when out of the water.
• They can sometimes be seen rolling around on beaches as another form of play, and maybe come across food to peck at.
• Male Flipli have a little bit of "fur" on their back that the female rubs their eggs into so they can be carried around on the male until they hatch.
• They have little grabby hands! two fingers and one thumb, they can pick up tiny little things like pebbles, coral, or even smaller flipli.

• Concept by CatasticalCalamity. Inspired by water fleas, shrimp, comb jellies, and a bit of seal.[1]
• Model by MidnightAJC8308.
• Rig by ThunderBoo666.
• Animated by Minisode1_BlueHour and SleepyNorsil.
• Probably due to its hitbox shape and size and walk animation, Flipli can climb surfaces much better than any other creature excluding those with actual Climber ability, behaving almost like "legacy" climbing, where as long as there was not a ≥90 degree step nor any special slippery blocks, someone skilled enough could climb a surface.
• Flipli's calls contain the sounds of a squeaky lid being turned.
