The Hammerhead is an uncommon creature found in the frigid oceans of Barotrauma.
Description
Hammerheads are medium-size shark-like creatures. They have at least two pairs of eyes, four claws, four fins, and a long tail, which is their primary mode of locomotion.
Their most distinctive feature is their flat head, which is reminiscent of the head of a claw hammer.
Hammerheads are somewhat solitary creatures, but are sometimes seen in groups of up to five, though they typically come in groups of two to three.
In-game
Hammerheads are capable of inflicting considerable damage to the outer walls of a Submarine, utilizing their flat heads to bash holes in a given surface. They will relentlessly pound at the outer hull of the submarine and its occupants, being capable of stopping a fast moving sub dead in its tracks.
Hammerheads will protect Hammerhead Matriarchs, and attack any other creature on sight regardless as to whether the creature is stronger, or if the Hammerhead is wounded.
