Crabsnake

The Crabsnake is a large, aggressive fauna species found exclusively in the Jellyshroom Cave, where they reside in the Jellyshrooms. It will The Crabsnake waits inside a Jellyshroom in an upright position until the player gets too close. At that point it will spring out and grab them as a surprise attack. While being attacked by the Crabsnake the player is trapped in the same way they would be while being attacked by the Reaper Leviathan. Sometimes, after having finished its attacks, the Crabsnake falls back into the mushroom; other times it will leave and swims around the area. Unless agitated again by the player, it will eventually return to the Jellyshroom and wait again. It will also leave its mushroom on its own so it can patrol the surrounding area, or seek out another mushroom to reside in. The Crabsnake will attack the Seamoth for minor damage, the Prawn Suit for very minor damage, and will ignore the Cyclops. Crabsnakes can be observed peeking out of Jellyshrooms if the player approaches one in their submersible. They will not attack, however, and instead will let out hissing noises before going back into their mushroom.

Crabsnakes will lay their eggs inside the Jellyshroom. They can only be accessed after the Crabsnake leaves.

If a small fish, such as an Eyeye or an Oculus swims into the entrance of a Jellyshroom with a Crabsnake inside, the Crabsnake will attack and kill it.

When Crabsnakes are damaged, they will shake violently. If it is near a Jellyshroom after taking damage, it will attempt to shelter within it.
