About

Sandcrawlers are a variant of Spiders that spawn in desert and badlands biomes. They move slow on ground but can burrow into the sand to move much faster.

Behavior

Stats

Sandcrawlers have 18 HP (9 hearts), which is 12.5% higher health than normal spiders. They move slow on ground, about 13% slower than normal spiders, but when they burrow into the sand, they move much faster. Non sand, dirt, or grass blocks will further slow down the Sandcrawler.

Burrow

A move Sandcrawlers use often to move quickly through terrain and past players. When burrowing, Sandcrawlers are invulnerable. After a few seconds or once they reach permeable blocks or air, the Sandcrawler will jump out of the sand. 20 times a second, there's a 2% chance the Sandcrawler will attempt to burrow into the ground. When hurt there is an 80% chance the Sandcrawler will attempt a burrow

Poison

When damaged by a Sandcrawler, the player is given a 4 second, level 1 posion effect

Daytime

If a Sandcrawler still exists when it starts turning day (tick 23500), it will play a special despawn animation where it burrows into the sand and despawns.
