Cnidarian Fishing Rod

Not to be confused with Cnidrion, an enemy that spawns in the Desert.

The Cnidarian attacking a Target Dummy and a Super Dummy, displaying the jellyfish's string physics and its ability to fire lightning, as well as minion targeting.

The Cnidarian is a craftable Pre-Hardmode summon weapon. When used, the user holds out a fishing rod and a jellyfish on a string attaches to the bottom of the user's cursor. Moving the cursor causes the string to swing proportional to the rate of its movement, with the cursor as the pivot point. While enemies are nearby, it will select up to three enemies at random and fire electric sparks which deals 50% of the jellyfish's damage. If the jellyfish swings fast enough, it will assign minions to target the struck enemy and play a wet slap sound.

Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size.
