== Entity description ==

This "fish" swim serenely on the water until it detects an enemy. Then, it will rush to bite you. Be careful, because it not only will take a part of your health, but also it will push you down inside the water, making you drown.

A fully working AI on Half-Life (that you could get it stuck), it was planned for Half-Life 2 to be an npc who killed those players that swam far from the coast, but when it was remplaced by [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Trigger_waterydeath the leeches], it was left to the initial teleport sequence, making the npc mostly useless. Obsidian Conflict has it nearly restored.

This npc doesn´t need nodes to move, but require path_corners to swim a predetermined route. If not, when it spawn and when there isn´t any enemy on the water, it will stay idle on their last position.
