It has 6 black spikes on its abdomen, with 3 on each side. It has 10 claw-like teeth that chomp the player when attacking.   ## Behavior   Sandspears are commonly seen drifting at a slow pace at the bottom of caves or seabed. The Sandspear is hostile and will attack players when approached. This triggers a cutscene similar to those of larger predators. They can be seen burrowing into the ground, leaving only their teeth and a plant-like lure exposed, where they wait to ambush prey. This behavior is similar to the Spikey Trap of 4546B's Sector Zero. A burrowed Sandspear will get startled by light and swim away a short distance.   ## Databank Entry  -> **Source:** Scan a Sandspear->-> DATABANK ENTRY COMING SOON+*   **Source**: Scan a Sandspear+*   **Entry**: DATABANK ENTRY COMING SOON   ## Gallery   ![A Sandspear baiting its prey](Sandspear Bait.png)-![In the dark, the bait may be interesting to prey.
