Gazenbreacher

Gazenbreachers are shark-like Water Calamities. They're melee and ranged combatants that are exceptionally fast in water compared to other Mobs.

Spawning

• Has a ~26.6% chance to spawn from a Womb (created from a Parent Signal that occurred at or below Y=70 and met the water requirement) when it reaches 100 biomass.

• Has an ~11.1% chance to spawn from a Womb when it reaches 100 biomass and the 30% incorrect spawn roll hits (~3.3% chance overall).

Unique Behavior

• Gazenbreachers are aquatic; they can breathe underwater and swim extremely quick in liquids; notably faster than other Water Calamities. While on land, Gazenbreachers are only able to crawl extremely slowly.

• If the Gazenbreacher's target is ~17.32 blocks away or 5 blocks higher than the Gazenbreacher, she will shoot a bile projectile. 1 - 3 bile projectiles will shoot from her mouth (assuming she currently has her tongue) and at the target. They deal 10 damage and inflict Biled for 10 seconds. The projectiles also break boats.

  • She can also always see you through walls if it meets the same distance checks for shooting a bile projectile.

• The sonar ping ability is performed if the Gazenbreacher is inside of a fluid, in which an internal counter ticks up. After 1 minute of being in a fluid, the Gazenbreacher will then send out a sonar ping. She searches for a target within a ~128x128x128 cube around herself. If she locates a whitelisted entity (whitelisted via the config) or a player that isn't in creative mode, she will then set her target to that entity. She does not stop checking entities after locating one, meaning she will cycle through all entities and choose the last valid one. The internal radar tracker resets after each ping, regardless of if she found anything.

• If the Gazenbreacher has a target, and the target is both on the ground and not inside of a fluid, she will check distance between her and the target. If the distance is greater than ~5.66 blocks, she will attempt to leap. When leaping towards the target, the horizontal speed is dictated by how far away the entity is, capping out at around upwards of 2 blocks per tick, plus any prior velocity she had prior to the leap. Vertical speed is always set to 1.3 blocks per tick.

• She does not play an ambient sound if she has a target and is greater than ~14.14 blocks away, allowing her to sneak up on prey.

• When the tongue's hitbox sustains 25% of the Gazenbreacher's health, it will fall off. This will spawn a Licker, and the model will change to not have the tongue anymore. After it falls off, the Gazenbreacher loses her bile projectile attack. She can regain her tongue by healing back to 100% health. Hitting the tongue of the Gazenbreacher deals x1.5 damage, however this does not affect the tongue's personal HP.

• For each Skeleton that Gazenbreachers kill, their armor will be increased by 1 (x0.5 bars); this has no cap. All Calamities (except Air Calamities) can do this as well.

• While Gazenbreachers are idle with no Objective and not currently in an Offshore Biome (excluding Mushroom Fields), they will search in a 128 chunk range. If finding an applicable Offshore Biome, they will set their Objective to the nearest applicable biome and travel there. When this happens, the message "Incoming..." will not be sent in chat. All Water Calamities can do this as well.

• When Gazenbreachers are completely submerged in water, they will appear tinted to the color of the water to players above the surface, making them hard to spot. If a player is in the water, the tint will disappear from any Gazenbreachers. All Water Calamities can do this as well.

• Gazenbreachers are capable of performing Spore Bursts (explained in-depth on the Calamities page). The positive effects they'll grant to allies is Conduit Power I, Speed I, and Resistance II, all for 30 seconds. The negative effects they'll give to targets is Darkness I, Mycelium Infection II, and Hunger II, all for 30 seconds.

• Gazenbreachers have three possible custom death messages, being "<player> was eaten by Gazenbreacher", "<player> was crushed by Gazenbreacher", and "<player> was dismantled by Gazenbreacher".

Adaptation

If a Gazenbreacher is on fire for at least 40 seconds throughout her entire lifetime, she'll gain her Crispy Adaptation.

• Crispy Gazenbreachers are immune to fire damage. In addition, they'll set targets on fire for 10 seconds when dealing melee damage; furthermore, bile projectiles shot by Crispy Gazenbreachers are flaming and will set targets on fire for 10 seconds. Crispy Gazenbreachers also have a special Body Heat value (in regards to Frostbite) compared to other Calamities, that being 6.

• Capable of breaking blocks with a hardness of 5 or lower.
