Blood Crawler

The Blood Crawler is an aggressive life form mainly found in the Blood Kelp Caves. It is a subspecies of the Cave Crawler.

It moves much faster than the Cave Crawler, so players have to be careful while exploring the area.

Appearance
The Blood Crawler has very long legs, covered with inward facing spikes, which give it a more menacing look from that of its relative.

Most of its body is cyanish blue in color, while its legs are red tipped. It has a large, bioluminescent eye with red sclera and a blue pupil, different from that of the Cave Crawler. Also, there are four smaller simple eyes situated near its mandibles.

Behavior
The Blood Crawler moves in groups, typically patrolling the seabed in this area, and will attack the player when approached.

It is also capable of climbing onto the walls and ceilings of most surfaces, including Seabases, cave walls and the Cyclops.
