The Bloatfish is an enemy that spawns in the 4th layer of the Abyss. While it is not aggressive and will not chase the player to attack them, it can still slightly hurt them via its low contact damage. It serves primarily as a meat-shield for other enemies, as it absorbs projectiles and gets larger as it takes damage, potentially reaching 3 times its original size.

Notes

  • The Bloatfish nullifies the piercing capabilities of any projectiles that come in contact with it, effectively absorbing them.
  • In the get fixed boi seed, their maximum size is no longer capped meaning they can grow indefinitely.

Trivia

  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Bloatfish: "More geological than biological, bloatfish have sticky glue-like skin that they use to cover their bodies in voidstone. Though it protects them from predators, their immense weight has sunk them to the deepest parts of the Abyss."
  • Although the Bloatfish is based on the ocean sunfish, which lives in the warmer and higher places of the water column, the Bloatfish only spawns at the very bottom of the Abyss.
