Water Strider

The Water Strider is a harmless critter that spawns on bodies of water on the Surface during the day. It only spawns near Sand and Jungle grass blocks, but not in the Ocean biome. It will not spawn if the wind speed exceeds 10 mph. The Water Strider moves by gliding on water and hopping around on land. Due to having only 5 health and no defense, it is often killed instantly by enemies or players. Gold Water Striders have a chance to spawn in place of the regular variant.
