Ophthalmonectare

Quickstart

• Creative: Find and use the Ophthalmonectare Spawn Egg to place one in water.
• Survival: Look for it underwater in a deep ocean, especially in darker areas. It can spawn alone or in pairs.
• Keep your distance when observing: it hunts fish and can attack nearby players. If you want to fight it, watch for its spines to retract as its health gets low.

Overview

The Ophthalmonectare is a large aquatic predator that swims through deep oceans. It seeks out fish and can poison players at close range.

What It Adds

• One hostile aquatic mob, with a spawn egg available in Creative.
• Natural spawning underwater in deep-ocean biomes in low light.
• Prismarine shard and occasional spider eye drops.

How To Use

Use the spawn egg on a water-filled area to spawn an Ophthalmonectare. In the wild, look for it underwater in deep oceans; kelp is not required for it to spawn.

Abilities And Mechanics

• It swims but does not walk or breathe air.
• It seeks fish from a distance and attacks when close. Nearby players can also be attacked.
• Attacks deal damage; against players, they also inflict poison for about five seconds.
• It has 30 health. At a quarter of its health, its spines retract and it stops attacking.

Progression And Strategy

Give it room to swim if you are observing it. To fight, avoid staying close during its attacks, and take advantage of the opening after its spines retract.

It drops 1–3 prismarine shards. A player kill also has a 25% chance to drop one spider eye.
