More Info on Aquatic Creatures

• All, except piranhas, will eat by wandering into water and perform an eating animation, replenishing 100 hunger points. It does not matter the size or depth of the water, or what biome it is in, only that there is water
  • Piranhas do not have a hunger bar
• All, except piranhas, have a default max age of 100
• None of these creatures require premuim

Creature Specific Info

Crab

• Crabs are able to burrow in the ground to protect themselves
  • Specifically, two conditions must be satisfied in order for a crab to burrow
    • There are creatures not belonging to the "crab" creature kingdom or not friendly with it within the same or adjacent 16×16 chunks (including diagonal chunks)
    • The crab's hunger is 50 or above. So, if constantly surrounded by creatures, they will only un-burrow themselves to eat
  • Crabs perform regular "danger checks" - if both conditions are satisfied, the burrow response is triggered, and the crab will head to a random location to burrow. Before actually burrowing, the crab performs a final check; if any of the two conditions are no longer satisfied (e.g. the other creatures are no longer within range), they will not burrow. Every time the crab burrows, they will remain in the ground for a period of 2-4 months. If both of the burrowing conditions are still satisfied at the end of this period, they will remain in the ground
• Crabs lay eggs
  • When the animal babies world law is enabled, they will only lay eggs if given sufficient isolation from non-crab creatures (see Reproduction for details)
  • Crab Egg Traits:
    • File:IconStrongMinded10x.pngStrong Minded
    • File:IconImmune10x.pngImmune
  • Their eggs live for 2-3 years, hatching as soon as they turn 3

• The crab name is constructed according to the scheme: C + (sometimes) r + vowel (a,a, aaa, o) + b + (sometimes) vowel (e, a, o)

Penguin

• Penguin swimming speed is incredibly fast, moving 3 times as fast in water than on land, making them one of fastest creatures in the game while in water

Turtle

• They are relatively slow on land but move 40 times faster in the water
• Turtles lay eggs. Turtle eggs will have these traits:
  • File:IconStrongMinded10x.pngStrong Minded
  • File:IconImmune10x.pngImmune
• There is a special kind of turtle called a river turtle that is unused

Piranha

• Piranhas come in a small variety of colors chosen by random when they spawn, but there used to be a way to get green piranhas when the swamp biome was still water based
• They are the apex predators of any body of water, and the only actual fish creature in worldbox. They attack anything that they can sink their teeth in, including boats. They're attacked by all civs
• Piranhas deal 50% more knockback when attacking
