The Golden Hammerhead is a creature from Barotrauma which may occasionally spawn as a replacement for the Hammerhead.

Description

Golden Hammerheads are tougher variants of the Hammerhead. They possess a hardened blunt head strong enough to punch holes in hulls, and also feature the Hammerhead trademark; four scythe-like limbs, each of which can inflict very heavy Bleeding on any living creature, with 360º of reach. As its name implies, the Golden Hammerhead has gold-colored, somewhat shiny skin, and two motionless fins to act as stabilizers.

In-game

The Golden Hammerhead will attack the Submarine in hit-and-run attacks, punching holes in the hull with its head and retreating to strike again. Lone Divers will be chased and mauled to death.

Golden Hammerheads may spawn as a replacement for a Hammerhead, the chance of which depends on the game difficulty. Golden Hammerheads present a similar threat level to the common Hammerhead.
