The Snapping Choir: creep, or throw something.
Seven blind giant shrimp on the reef hunt by sound. Swim fast, mine or build near them, and they snap: the bubble bursts where you were and smashes blocks.
What it is
Seven giant shrimp, blind and hunting by sound. It is based on pistol shrimp, which snap a claw so fast the bubble it makes flashes hotter than the surface of the sun.
Where and when it comes
- On the reefs, in the kelp and in the shallows: Coralreach, Tidewash and Kelpwood.
- A colony rises 24 to 34 metres from a swimmer over a reef, on the sea floor.
- After one is slain, another cannot come for about 25 minutes. The Codex hint is "A crackling on the reef".
How it hunts
- Sound. Swimming fast, mining, building and striking all make noise. The shrimp hear it.
- Snapping. A snap bursts a bubble where you were, for 24 damage, and smashes blocks nearby.
- Shooting. Their snaps reach out to about 16 metres, and beside one of them, the others shoot their own.
- Keeping still. Keep still, or creep (crouch), to keep their attention down.
