Angler Fish

The Angler Fish is a monster that is found in pools of water Underground or in the Jungle. The Angler Fish has a small light bulb which emits a very small amount of light. Angler Fish are an offensive-based monster, as they have high attack but relatively low health and defense. It only spawns after Wall of Flesh has been defeated.

A swarm of Angler Fish can be potentially deadly to the player, as they swim faster than all other fish when chasing the player, aside from the Shark. When the player is not in water, however, the Angler Fish will move at a regular speed, similar to the Piranha.

Trivia
Angler Fish in real life tend to move slowly and infrequently, despite their apparent speed and ferocity in Terraria.
