Drops
Vicious Goldfish drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Corrupted crimson predators prowling bloody waters
The Vicious Goldfish is a corrupted aquatic fiend that spawns in Crimson waters or emerges when ordinary Goldfish are exposed to a Blood Moon in Crimson worlds. Swimming aggressively with 110 life and 7 defense, it abandons the peaceful habits of standard fish. Its sharp fangs clamp onto swimming explorers for 31 base damage, making flooded crimson chasms hazardous.
Flopping terrestrial lunges and powder purification
When pursued onto dry land, the Vicious Goldfish does not perish; instead, it flops aggressively across the ground to bite passing adventurers. Sprinkling Purification Powder on a Vicious Goldfish cures its affliction, transforming it back into a gentle ordinary Goldfish. In Master mode, its endurance climbs to 330 life with 93 damage, turning flooded crimson pits into high-damage traps.
Trivia
- Ordinary Goldfish transform into Vicious Goldfish during a Blood Moon in worlds with Crimson.
- Dusting a Vicious Goldfish with Purification Powder transforms it back into a harmless Goldfish.
