Alien Skater (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).This references the Minishark's tooltip, 'Half shark, half gun, completely awesome.'.The Bestiary entry for the Hemogoblin Shark: " Half-shark, half-goblin, completely murderous! One of the numerous reasons to just stay home during a Blood Moon.".Unlike other enemies with this AI, it will not prioritize the Eternia Crystal over the player if both are present.It also shares all of its sounds with the Drakin, possibly hinting that it was based on the Drakin. It is the only non- Old One's Army event enemy to follow the Attacker AI.Hemogoblin is also an anagram of hemoglobin.The name Hemogoblin Shark is a portmanteau of hemoglobin, an oxygen-carrying protein found in vertebrates which is responsible for giving blood its red color, and goblin shark, a rare and ancient species of shark native to the deep waters of the Eastern Atlantic, from which this enemy likely takes its appearance.Opening a small hole, or using a platform Hoik in an enclosed space can allow the player to use normal weapons and projectiles to easily kill the Hemogoblin Shark.Trapping either the Hemogoblin Shark or player themselves inside a house or otherwise enclosed area and using weapons that can attack through walls (e.g., the Crystal Vile Shard) allows for a flawless, albeit slow kill.However it will still keep trying to enter, getting stuck at the doorway, allowing for an easy kill. The Hemogoblin Shark cannot enter doors, being 4 tiles tall.The Flying Knife is an effective weapon if the Hemogoblin Shark gets stuck in a crevice.Keeping the Hemogoblin Shark underwater will prevent it from firing Blood Shots.Building a platform high above the player's fishing spot allows them to dodge the Hemogoblin Shark's lunging attacks, though it can still hit the player with its Blood Shot attack.The Hemogoblin Shark will not fire Blood Shots while submerged in liquids.Using the Chum Caster will greatly increase the chances of hooking Blood Moon enemies.The Sonar Potion will detect if a Blood Moon enemy is about to be hooked (it will display enemies in red text).It can run at just enough speed to outrun even players with Terraspark Boots on ground.It is not, however, immune to the On Fire! debuff from non-lava sources. The Hemogoblin Shark is immune to lava and is unimpeded by liquids.
