The Ampeel can also attack the Prawn Suit dealing 7% damage, it should be noted though that Ampeels are not likely to attack the Prawn Suit having to get almost within biting range before attacking. Ampeels are one of the few creatures that can deal damage to a Cyclops, though the damage they deal is minimal and it takes several attacking at once to pose any real threat to the vessel. A better defensive tool to use would be the Stasis Rifle, Repulsion Cannon, or a Torpedo System. The Seamoth Perimeter Defense System has no effect on an Ampeel, likely due to the fact that it uses electricity itself. The Ampeel's electricity can severely damage a Seamoth. It then may try to zap or bite the player. The Ampeel will enter an aggressive state when the player approaches it, generating an electrical barrier that surrounds its entire body by using all of its prongs at once. It generates electrical arcs that run along its body, from head to tail. Because of this, not only would it be unlikely for them to generate a current on land, but it also allows them to activate the circuits at will, by generating a slightly larger current to "kickstart" the system, and make visible arcs of shocking power.Īmpeels swim around passively and frequently re-orientate themselves to swim in another direction. This electrical current is most likely generated by a natural unfinished circuit, and with the addition of water as a means to close the circuit and generate electric arcs from prong to prong. The prongs are a brownish-red in color, green towards the bases with bright white tips, these emit a very bright cyan bioluminescent glow, and are capable of generating electricity. Its mouth has many small teeth.Įach body segment has four prongs situated 90 degrees apart, except its end segment, where there are four prongs extending out posteriorly. It has two turquoise eyes sitting in hollows in the otherwise smooth head. The Ampeel's head segment has six prongs, four being placed in line with the prongs on the body segments, with an additional pair located on either side of the creature's mouth. The body is composed of a head segment, eight body segments, and a tail segment. Their dorsal side is dull green in color, while the underbelly is light tan. It's a pretty extreme transition too, if you're getting into the LR from the Blood Kelp Zones.Ampeels are huge, serpentine creatures with a segmented body, covered with prongs capable of generating powerful zaps of bio-electricity. In the LR and DGR though, it gets drowned out in the bright global lighting down there. At night, the bioluminescence of the life there is so much more apparent. And the Safe Shallows is especially pretty at both times of day. I mean, look at the Grand Reef - it's darkish, and at night very dark, but then you can see the glowing of the plantlife so much more. And with the Aurora entrance being considered for removal too, where do these dragons get their reapers from then?īack on topic though I'd love to see these two darkened up somewhat so the glowing traits of the life down there have a chance to shine (no pun intended) but not dark enough that ithe rest of the detail is completely lost on you either. Part of me hoped that he'd show up in or around the Dunes ILZ entrance because of their hunting reapers, but then the entrance got removed. The biolumenescence is almost entirely wasted on him. But he only shows up in a fairly bright zone, and a very very bright zone. Speaking of which, the Sea Dragon has some gorgeous light displays when in the darkness. There's too much global lighting in those two areas, that the bioluminescence of the life down there is largely wasted. I'd like to see a bit more of a balance really. Even if they're pretty limited unfortunately. I guess the light stick and Floodlight too. If you need more light, your subs or flashlight are there to help. It's dark enough to be fitting of an abyssal biome, but its enough to navigate and appreciate the area. Most of the Blood Kelp Trench's light comes from the glow put off by the flora. I'd like to see the Deep Grand Reef and Lost River be darker.
