Boneshark

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Bone Shark is an aggressive life form belonging to the fauna category.

It mainly dwells in the Koosh Zone and the Underwater Islands, as an actively fierce predator.

Appearance

The Bone Shark is a medium-sized, armored creature with a large head featuring spikes extending backwards from many sides of its head, and a long, armoured body.

Its head features a large mouth full of small, razor-sharp teeth and two bioluminescent green eyes.

It has two spiked pectoral fins and flukes at the end of its tail. It is of a dull purple color, with orange patterns on its head and back.

Behavior

The Bone Shark is carnivorous, so one can be seen chasing other smaller fish, such as Peepers. It is also hostile, as the creature can be seen attacking the others, including the player. Once the player is spotted, it will follow them until they outrun its charge.

The Bone Shark's attack causes minor damage (3%) to the Seamoth.

It is also attracted to lights, as the Cyclops is able to draw in the creature's attention. Because of this, the creature can also be distracted using Flares.

The Bone Shark can be seen fiercely guarding it's Eggs, and will attack the player if they should get too close.

If the player has a Peeper in their hand, the Bone Shark will approach with it's mouth open, consuming the Peeper. This may also cause damage to the player, however it is currently unknown since this has only been tested on Creative Mode.
