The Acid Eel is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns during the Acid Rain event. It swims around in the water in a wave-like motion and does not directly attack the player in any way. If it makes contacts with a nearby tile, it will slowly turn around and swim in a different direction. When outside of water, it will become motionless. The segments of the Acid Eel glow but do not emit light.

Tips

• Using block-placing tools such as the Ice Rod can easily restrict the enemy's movement, allowing it to be killed more efficiently.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Acid Eel: "Though they are predators themselves, acid eels lay near the bottom of the Sulphur Sea's food chain. Their diet largely consists of mollusks, thanks to their ability to squirm into tight crevices. This paired with their speed and camouflage assist them in avoiding becoming meals for others."
