asset glowfin "Glowfin" complexity=4 float
// a chibi lantern-fish floater: a fat round body with big eyes, a dark back band and a pale belly,
// fan fins on both sides, a fan tail and a dorsal sail, glowing photophore dots along the flanks,
// and a curled stalk carrying a glowing bulb lure out in front of its face.
// colourways: deep sea (cobalt), reef (coral), and a rare shiny (lilac with a mint lure)
