Npc barnacle



Icky thingies that bite whatever touches their tongue. Barnacles are stationary, but evidently capable of sending their offspring large distances away. Either they digest prey extremely fast, or they dig themselves into the surface they live on and use the space above it as a stomach. Players usually deal with barnacles as inconsequentially as they can, meaning they'll use their pistol, crowbar, or a piece of junk to alleviate the mostly harmless threat. Players also like tricking other enemies into getting eaten.

If the "base" of the barnacle isn't appearing right, move it down 1-2 units. Barnacles must also always be facing straight down, or their tongue will be shaped wrong. Barnacles also need a fair amount of solid matter above them, because the tongue and things that they eat will literally be shoved into the space above it.
