Mechanics

• Octopus evolve into mantis shrimp (player-determined).
  • 42,000 XP is required for an octopus to evolve into a mantis shrimp.
• Mantis shrimps evolve into Coconut Crabs and Japanese Spider Crabs(in open beta).
  • 48,000 XP is required for a mantis shrimp to evolve into a Coconut Crab or a Japanese Spider Crab.
• Mantis shrimp drop meat upon death.

Diet

This is a complete list of food that Mantis Shrimps can eat.

Name	Can be eaten by	Image	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		250	Spawns in the ocean.
Ice	All		250	Spawns in the arctic and deeeep.
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.
Human	Tier 9 to Tier 10 Animals		300	Spawns in the surface of the water
Anglerfish Bait	All Animals except for the Anglerfish who spawned it		0	Spawns infront of an Anglerfish when it is stationary (as its passive ability). No fixed look, resembles the last food the Anglerfish eats. It does nothing too, but the Anglerfish will deal twice as much damage (100x2, therefore 200) to the animal that ate it
