Toxic Minnow
Toxic Minnow
The Toxic Minnow is an enemy that spawns in the 1st and 2nd layers of The Abyss.
Behavior
Toxic Minnows usually spawn in schools of 4-9 fishes. They are predators, meaning they'll hunt Depth Feeders and Herrings.
It remains passive, swimming randomly, usually looking for kelp where it'll stay until disturbed. The fish try to stay together and move in the single direction, unless they're targeting their prey. Once the player is close enough and is in the Toxic Minnow's line of sight, it will chase them, dealing contact damage and inflicting Poisoned debuff on contact, until the player is out of its range. Upon death, it'll explode, leaving a ring of 10 toxic skull clouds, which can damage enemies and inflict Poisoned debuff on contant.
Notes
- Despite their code specifically forcing them to get out of the corners and walls, they will still often get stuck, sometimes even ignoring the player.
