The Halfmoon (Moliform luna, "moon-shaped soft form") is a dual-valve plankton strainer found across Coral Gardens and Observatory Ruins at 0–400m depth. A defensive forage fish, it is a key part of the food chain — cooked Halfmoon provides +15 food (mild dehydration cost: -5 hydration). Also used for Grease production (Processor: 2 Halfmoon → 1 Grease). One of the most useful passive creatures for sustaining the Pioneer during long expeditions.

Notes
Food: Cooked = +15 food, -5 hydration. Raw = not recommended (Digestive Incompatibility until Digestion Adaptation). Resource: 2 Halfmoon → 1 Grease (Processor) — useful for [wakemaker] upkeep.
Tips:
- Halfmoons are common and safe to catch — carry a few as emergency rations on long dives.
- Balance the -5 hydration cost by pairing with Water Slug drops or Water Secretion biomod.
