Template:Class 2 FaunaThe Blood Crawler is an aggressive life form belonging to the fauna category. It is mainly found in the Blood Kelp Caves and the Lost River.

Appearance

The Blood Crawlers main body is about the same size as a Cave Crawler, however, it possesses very long legs (even longer than the player's height), covered with inward facing spikes, giving it a more intimidating look than that of its relatives.

Most of its body is cyanish blue in color, while its legs are red tipped. It has a large, bioluminescent reddish-pink glowing eye with red sclera and blue pupil. Also, there are four smaller simple eyes situated near its mandibles.

Behavior

The Blood Crawler moves in groups, typically patrolling the seabed, and will attack the player when approached. More notably, the Blood Crawler moves much faster than its relative. 

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