Crashfish (Subnautica)

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Crash is a life form belonging to fauna. It can be found in caves that are not too deep (most of the time in Safe Shallows Caves) and looks like a black/grey round rock when the player isn't spotted.

When the player is spotted, the Crash 'base' ( which can't move) is opens up like a flower and will emit a kind of gurgle, showing a round red-white one-eyed fish-like creature inside it's 'mouth'.

If the player comes too close, the fish-like creature will get out of the base and will charge the player while emmiting a specific noise, easily recognizable. After a short amount of time, the fish-like creature will explode, causing damage to the player and the vicinity.

Be aware that the exploding fish is as fast as you, even with fins. The Crash base can be killed with a knife and will produce other exploding fishes over time if not killed.

The Crash currently doesn't attack submarines. As a result, a player can easily ram the Crash inside its base with the Seamoth until it is dead. Killing the Crash this way will not cause it to explode. As of Update 8, the Crash will react and attack the Seamoth, dealing a significant amount of damage to the Seamoth, usually destroying it.

Due to the Crash now reacting to the Seamoth, the best tactic to kill the base is to get out of the Seamoth, trigger the ejection, after exploding, collect the Crash Meal and destroy it with the Knife.

Crash take 15-20 minutes to reload after exploding.
