Crashfish (Subnautica)

The Crash is a life form belonging to the fauna category. It can be found in caves, most of the time in Safe Shallows Caves.

The Crash usually resides inside a plant which looks like a black/grey round rock when the player isn't spotted.

When the player gets too close, the Crash plant opens up like a flower and will emit a kind of gurgle, revealing the round red-white one-eyed fish-like Crash inside.

If the player comes too close, the Crash will will charge the player while emmiting a specific, easily-recognizable noise. After a short amount of time, the Crash will explode, causing damage to the player, the Seamoth and the vicinity. If the Crash explodes next to a Seamoth that the player is in, it usually destroys the Seamoth.

The Crash is as fast as the player, even with fins equipped. Therefore, it is quite hard to escape the Crash. The Crash plant can be killed with a knife and will produce other Crashes over time if not killed. Crashs take 15-20 minutes to respawn inside their base after exploding.

The best tactic to kill the plant is to get out of the Seamoth, trigger the ejection, evade, and after the explosion of the Crash, collect the Crash Meal and destroy it with the knife.
