The Cuddlefish can indeed leave, but its departure is dependent on the player’s actions, as it will follow the player around if commanded to do so, or stay in one area if told to. When the player instructs the Cuddlefish to stop following, it will create a patrol radius at that location, where it will patrol and roam around until the player interacts with it again to follow the player.
