Lantern Shork

Template:GootraxTab Template:Removed Gootraxian Template:Gootraxian Lantern Shorks were the Blackout variant of the common Shorks.

They have dark-blue skin with lighter, purple-colored muzzles, underbellies, hands and feet. Covering their bodies are blue, bioluminescent, crescent-shaped markings, particularly along their arms, legs, chests and ear fins. These markings also appear to be underneath their similarly bright blue eyes. They mostly lack mouths, only visible during certain expression states, such as getting hurt or dying.

Lantern Shork was removed and replaced by Wisp in the V3.1 Revamp Update.

Acquirement

Players can obtain Lantern Shorks by stepping on a glowing shark fin in the Flooded Area during a Blackout or via infection through another Lantern Shork Gootraxian.

Bestiary Entry

Highly volatile in temperament, Lantern Shorks use their bioluminescent glow to lure prey to their imminent end. These Gootraxians lurk around the flooded rooms of the facility, their bioluminescence coming from special photophores in their skin that produce a faint, blue glow. These creatures are prone to violent episodes, going totally berserk with absolutely no control over their aggression. They are relentless at taking down their aggressors. Avoid at all costs. Do not follow the lights in the water.

Trivia
