The Watcher is an octopus-like European creatures named after their large eye. Despite their startling appearance, they are docile in nature and will completely ignore both submarines and their crew members.

Description

Watchers have 6 tentacles and a large head protruding from them. Having no specialized appendages dedicated to swimming, they are exceptionally slow-moving.

Watchers are visually-oriented animals. Their iridescent head's main feature is its large eye, giving them a splendid sense of vision but seemingly suffering from deafness.

Watchers' heads are completely armoured on all sides. Attacking the head will only inflict 1/100th of the damage. They also possess a shell articulated at the base of the head, but this doesn't appear to offer any actual protection.

In-game

Watchers are passive but inquisitive creatures: despite having no desire to attack the submarine or its crew, Watchers will still approach the ship to gaze at human activities through any windows.

Harming a Watcher is made difficult by its relatively high health and armored head. It is recommended to aim at the limbs for maximal efficiency.

Taking this into account, the proper course of action during an encounter with a Watcher is, presumably, to ignore it.
