Spiny Water Flea is a stronger upper yard variant of Water Flea found exclusively in the Moldorc Highlands, Undershed, and small puddles near the Stump in swarms. They serve as a dangerous threat to any players who dive into the water around the area.

Behavior[]

Spiny Water Fleas are much faster than their normal counterpart, seen looping the entire Upper Pond in large swarms fairly quickly. They also attack much faster, but do only share the normal Water Fleas basic bite attack.

Interaction With Player[]

The Spiny Water Flea is hostile to the player and will attack them on sight, sometimes being very deadly due to their swarm behavior.

Interaction With Other Creatures[]

Spiny Water Fleas have no interactions with any creatures due to being fairly alone in their area.

Advanced Loot Table[]

This is a more advanced covering of the loot-table of Spiny Water Flea. Each item has an independent chance and count, in which the chance is the chance it can drop and the count is the amount of items that have that chance. If a count larger than 1 is in one section, then each item has an independent chance from one another (EX: Instead of getting say 2 of a resource, you can get 1 with a 70% chance and another with an additional 70% chance). In terms of Stealing, it can take one item from every section of the loot table, so even if a item count is say 5, the player will only steal one from that section.

Creature Loot Tables also tend to have large amounts of 1% items, which is intended to make stealing more rare items harder, as the player is more likely to steal the large amounts of 1% items than a singular 50% item.

Note: For consistency sake, all duplicate categories have a multiplier next to them, but function as unique loot types when say using Stealing.

Strategy[]

Spiny Water Fleas are best to be avoided due to being so densely clustered. If they do notice the player, the player should attempt to stand on a leaf or other land source in the water to avoid them. If the player wishes to fight them, a highly upgraded spear like the Rusty Spear is recommended.
