Translucent pearl crustacean with visible ribbed limbs, two long delicate feelers and a faint pink-blue internal glow. The shrimp extends its abdomen and spreads its fine legs over a stone. A faint pink-blue interior line is visible through the shell. Waits in still water, records an occasional current pulse, then gives a small paired reply. This answer form represents three then two. Sound design: Thin glass clicks kept below the melody. Native use and wake write its own small state. No native audio or automatic image animation.
Named native traits at inspection: wo2-pearl-shrimp-answer-voice. The guide does not independently test these behaviours.
