Gloom Piranha
Level 2+Real piranhas eat all sorts: small fish, insects, seeds and even fruit. These have forgotten that. Read the tale
Field notes
Real piranhas mostly eat fruit, seeds and small fish, and school together for safety. These are all teeth.
Where it lives
Deep water (more than 2.5 m) in any realm whose water is not frozen or molten, near the bottom. It follows divers up and down. Seen from level 2. Its level depends on where you meet it: at home, how far from the village you are; on the other lands, that land's band, lowest near the harbour side. It is stronger at night. Comes in groups of 3 to 5. Stronger ones are called Murky Gloom Piranha (level 15+), Deep Gloom Piranha (level 40+), Elder Gloom Piranha (level 80+).

Its attack: the bite. It is quick (wind-up 0.4 s, then 1.3 s before the next).
Gloom Piranhas are weak to energy and earth. They're quick with their bite: back away as they crouch, then strike while they recover. They live in deep water: keep an eye on your air when you dive after them.
