Starfish
The first named prey. The tutorial says Click to bite the starfish.
The first thing the game asks you to bite
Starfish is the scripted opening target. At the very start of a fresh run the screen prints Click to bite the starfish (Bd9IHpMI5Q8@00:00), which makes it the game's chosen introduction to the bite input rather than an animal you go looking for. It is the only prey in this catalog named by the tutorial itself instead of by the official description tags.
Why it matters more than its size suggests
Clearing the bite tutorial is what lets the Fish Tree prompt appear, and the Fish Tree is the permanent evolution menu (Bd9IHpMI5Q8@14:24). The starfish therefore sits directly on the critical path: bite it, finish the tutorial, open the Fish Tree, then work toward the second-fish unlock that awards the Evolution Begins badge. Wandering into open water before this step leaves you without the menu that drives every later upgrade.
What is still unknown
No readable stat card has been shown for the starfish, so its food value, respawn timing, and whether it keeps spawning after the tutorial are all unconfirmed. Blank fields on this page mean unread, not zero.
