The Anglerfish is a tier 7 animal, based on it's real-life counterpart, the Humpback Anglerfish (Melanocetus johnsonii)

Mechanics[]

Any Tier 6 animal can evolve into an Anglerfish.
- 30,000 XP is required for a seagull to evolve into a ray.
Anglerfish evolve into any tier 8 animal (player-determined).
- 36,000 XP is required for an anglerfish to evolve into any of those animals.
Anglerfish drop meat upon death.
As an anglerfish, friendly fire is turned off for other anglerfish: meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them.

Abilites[]

Passive Abilities[]

Standing still causes you to go invisible and causes food to spawn at the end of your esca.
- If an animal eats the food on the end of your esca, the animal you hit will be slowed by 30%, and you'll do 200 damage to them if you manage to hit them while in this state.
- The food that spawns on the end of your esca is determined by the last food you ate. For example, if you eat volcanic algae and then went invisible, volcanic algae would appear at the end of your esca.

Suitable Biomes[]

The suitable biome for the anglerfish is the deeeep.
- If an anglerfish enters the ocean, it will lose pressure.
- If an anglerfish enters the ocean surface, it will lose oxygen and pressure.
- If an anglerfish enters the arctic, it will lose temperature and pressure.
- If an anglerfish enters the arctic surface, it will lose oxygen, temperature, and pressure.
- If an anglerfish enters the swamp, it will lose pressure and salinity.
- If an anglerfish enters the swamp surface, it will lose oxygen, pressure, and it will not regenerate salinity.

Skins[]

Skins are cosmetics used to change an animal's looks, or sometimes, an animal’s biome or size statistics slightly. The table below shows the list of approved skins that can be used for the Anglerfish.

Realistic skins can be used in every time of the year. They are mostly based on real-life species, or adjectives such as 'Battle-Scarred' or 'Dark'.
