The Moloch are large crustacean-like creatures that manifest in Barotrauma. They are one of the most common aquatic life encountered in Europa's oceans.
Description
Molochs posses three pairs of elongated legs which allow them to propel themselves through water, although their legs make them poor at walking on dry ground. Their shell is primarily pearl blue in color, with their legs taking on a more whitish blue appearance.
The Moloch's shell acts as both its defensive and offensive capabilities. The shell will absorb a majority of the damage inflicted to it (1/100th of the damage). They are ponderous, but their mass allows them to easily inflict heavy damages on a submarine by ramming it.
In-game
Impact with a Moloch, or even just a corpse thereof, is especially damaging to the submarine's hull and easily busts holes in it, causing large amounts of flooding. While the Moloch will deliberately attempt to ram the submarine, it cannot match the speed of its target. Consequently, the Moloch presents the most danger either when submarine sinks or is driven into a Moloch (which goes to show the importance of using the sonar in navigation) or when the submarine is already kept immobilized by another circumstance. In either way, the damage caused by the Moloch is about to make the situation worse.
The dorsal shell of a Moloch significantly reduces the efficiency of attacks from above (to 1/100th of their normal damage): it is strongly recommended to shoot them from beneath for maximum efficiency.
If the player uses the Railgun, it will take three to four shots to kill it. If a player manages to shoot it under it's shell, it will usually be an instant-kill. If not, shooting it again will kill it.
Interestingly, Molochs don't bleed.

Trivia
- Before version 0.3.2.0, Moloch were unable to damage players, but tried to regardless. This resulted in the popularity of a 'rush' strategy to deal with them: divers would swim to the Moloch and strike it with even the less efficient weapon, distracting the creature from the comparatively vulnerable submarine and slowly wearing out the monster. The issue was fixed in 0.3.2.0, and the strategy abandoned.
- The Moloch's code doesn't include direct damages inflicted to structures, instead transferring kinematic energies to obtain the same result. This is unusual among the creatures, most of which directly inflict damage to submarines.
