The Bloatfish is a rare Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Ocean. It swims around in the water like most fish enemies. While the player is submerged in water, it will attempt to dart towards the player in short quick bursts. Upon contact, it inflicts the Bleeding debuff.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Bloatfish: "In the past, these fish would inflate to intimidate predators. Now, however, they seem to have eaten their way so far up the food chain that they no longer need to."

• This enemy originated from the Various Weathers mod before getting ported to this mod.
