Crabsnake

The Crab Snake is a life form belonging to the fauna category that can be found in the Jelly Shroom Caves inside Snake Mushrooms. They will attack the player if he comes too close and can deal 25-30 health damage.

It can be spawned in by typing "SPAWN CRABSNAKE" into the Debug Console Commands.

Appearance
The Crab Snake is slender, serpentine, and very long. Its body is covered in what appears to be something similar to a crab's exoskeleton, however, it is highly flexible and does not seem to impact its movement in any way. The top of the Crab Snake's body is maroon, with horizontal reddish-brown stripes every few feet along its entire length. The underside of the Crab Snake is mostly a whitish-gray color. There are clusters of small bright purple spots placed randomly over the Crab Snake's top. The Crab Snake has two long, translucent fins along the sides of its body, which undulate as the Crab Snake moves.

The face of the Crab Snake is flat, purple, and wrinkled. It has a pair of small fangs in the top-middle of its face. The rest of the Crab Snake's face is taken up by a pair of massive claws, which are grey with pitch-black tips. The Crab Snake has no eyes.

Behaviour
The Crab Snake will spawn inside a Snake Mushroom in an upright rigid position until the player gets too close. Then it will jump out and grab the player and attack it, similar to the Reaper Leviathan attack animation. Sometimes it will attack you and fall back into the mushroom, other times it will leave the mushroom and swim around by twisting it's body. Unless agitated again by the player it will return to the Jelly Mushroom and wait again.

It does not seem to react to other sea creatures swimming around the mushroom, and will only attack the player. It also cannot damage the sea moth if it is at safe crush depth, and seems to ignore the cyclops.
