Season levels and rewards#
Health and all attack-damage values are species bases, not final damage. Health scales by 1.065^(level−1) and damage by 1.05^(level−1), also modified by server strength. Season elites multiply health by 2.5 and damage by 1.3 before additional elite abilities. Base kill XP is the coefficient × (2 + 0.4 × monster level), then modified by elites, server rates, damage contribution, level-gap reduction and weakness. Summoned helpers award no season XP.
| Level | Health | Melee damage | Ranged damage | Elite health | Elite melee | Kill XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30 | 0 | 5 | 75 | 0 | 33.6 |
| 10 | 52.9 | 0 | 7.8 | 132.2 | 0 | 84 |
| 20 | 99.3 | 0 | 12.6 | 248.1 | 0 | 140 |
| 30 | 186.3 | 0 | 20.6 | 465.8 | 0 | 196 |
| 40 | 349.7 | 0 | 33.5 | 874.4 | 0 | 252 |
| 50 | 656.5 | 0 | 54.6 | 1641.3 | 0 | 308 |
| 60 | 1232.4 | 0 | 88.9 | 3081 | 0 | 364 |
Before server strength, area danger, armour and resistances; an elite’s extra abilities are on top.
Spawning & habitat#
| Rule | Details |
|---|---|
| Location | Caves |
| Time | Light-based; dark caves can qualify day or night |
| Pack size | 1 |
| Y restriction | 0 ≤ Y < 24 |
Underground generation bypasses surface biome filters, so suitable caves beneath other biomes can qualify. Y restrictions, lighting and space requirements still apply.
Spawning, light and season monsters — light, protection, player distance and population can still prevent a spawn.
Behaviour & abilities#
- Ranged attack: range 16 blocks, 5 base damage, interval 3.5 s, projectile speed 26 blocks/s; keeps roughly 0–16 blocks away.
- Rooted in place; does not walk.
- Its shell cuts damage by 85%, except while it is shooting.
- Applies slow for 2 s.
Drops#
| Item | Quantity | Entry roll | At least 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond | 0–1 | 25% | 12.5% |
| Glowstone Dust | 1–3 | 100% | 100% |
These are unscaled base rolls. A quantity of zero yields nothing. Elite/area modifiers, bag space and applicable material limits affect the result; a kill is not a guaranteed drop.
Eligible natural hostile kills also roll 3% for a seed, uniformly selected from ten types. Recipe rules: Cooking levels and costs
Strategy#
Approach behind cover. Its closed petals absorb most of a blow, so strike while they open to charge a shot or just after it fires.
City siege vs wilderness#
This creature (or its summoned/split form) can also appear in the live city siege. The figures above are wilderness base definitions; siege strength, targets and loot use separate rules.
