Template:Class 2 Fauna The Lava Larva is a type of passive life form belonging to the fauna category.

Appearance

The Lava Larva has a dark violet body, which is slightly flattened on the top and underneath. It has a striped pattern on the back.

On the front, the Lava Larva has two short, bulbous antennae-like appendages pointing forward. It has a pair of useless eyes surrounded by an orange ring. A glowing, orange-colored pattern rims the creature's mouth and stretches all the way to the other end of its body.

Whilst moving, the Lava Larva emits black particles from its back, these dissipate after a short time.

Behaviour

The Lava Larva will swim around aimlessly, producing high-pitched chirping sounds. It will attach itself to the Seamoth, PRAWN Suit and Cyclops, draining Energy and slowing the vehicle down.

It is noteworthy that the more Lava Larva there are attached, the more quickly the energy will drain. In order to get the Lava Larva off, the player must hit it with the Knife, freeze it with the Stasis Rifle or blast it off with the Propulsion Cannon or Repulsion Cannon, they can also be removed from inside the PRAWN Suit, using the PRAWN Suit Propulsion Cannon. You can also scare them off with the Seamoth Perimeter Defense System. If the vehicles energy is turned off by removing all energy-cells or depleted, they will detach.

Trivia

Despite being called a larva, the Lava Larva is not currently suggested to be the immature form of any known creature on Planet 4546B; presumably this name is based purely on outward appearance.
