Anglerfish

The Anglerfish is a tier 7 animal.

Mechanics

Rays and pelicans evolve into anglerfish (player-determined).
- 30,000 XP is required for a seagull to evolve into a ray.
Anglerfish evolve into sea turtles, penguins, and octopuses (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.

Standing still causes you to go invisible and causes food to spawn at the end of your esca.
- If an animal ate the food on the end of your esca, the first hit you deal to them will deal twice as much damage.
- The food that spawns on the end of your esca is determined by the last food you ate.

This is a complete list of food that anglerfish can eat.

Name	Can be eaten by	XP	Description
Barb	All except for the stonefish who spawned it	0	Spawns behind a stonefish using their active ability. Deals damage upon eating it (7% of max life). Poisons anyone who eats it with a base DPS of 10% that lasts 5 seconds (except poison-immune animals). Despawns after 4 seconds.
Bird Poop	All except for lamprey and seagull	10	Affected by gravity. Automatically spawns below any seagull every 10 seconds.
Plankton	All	25	Spawns in the ocean.
Dam Food	Tier 1 to tier 7	35	Spawns underneath beaver dams.
Ice	All	50	Spawns in the arctic and deeeep.
Apple	Tier 1 to tier 8 except lamprey and pelican	50	Spawns in trees.
Berry	Tier 1 to tier 8 except lamprey and pelican	50	Spawns in bushes.
Volcano Food	All except lamprey	125	Affected by gravity, floats upwards. Spawns out of volcanoes, which can be hidden in and are located in the arctic and the deeeep. When eaten as an animal that is not suited to the arctic, it will replenish some of your temperature.
Flappy Duck	Ray to tier 10	675	Spawns in a horizontal line just below the height limit.
Meat	All	1000	Spawns where an animal dies (tier 2 to tier 10 animals only). The amount of meat that spawns depends on what animal it was.

This is a complete list of terrain that anglerfish can hide in.
