Hazer



Hazers are small, squid-like creatures that can be picked up and thrown to create a smokescreen.

Behavior
Hazers will swim around in water, but when thrown on land, stabbed, or bitten by a creature, they will spray a large cloud of navy blue smoke. This will distract other creatures and mask Slugcat from view. The smokescreen fades shortly after, leaving the hazer deflated. Deflated hazers can be eaten for one food pip, and living ones can be swallowed. Hazers can be used to pass under Dropwigs without detection, and can be fed to Lizards to help tame them.

Trivia

 * Hazers, despite being defenseless and slow moving on land, do not spawn in water, only on land near bodies of water.
 * Five out of fourteen total Hazers spawn into the game world already dead, six out of fifteen for both Monk and Hunter.
 * Though they are creatures, they are placed in the rooms as objects. As such, they are swallowable (when alive), and respawn after 7 to 10 cycles (with variations up to 38) - interestingly, among these variations, living hazers tend to take more time before respawning than dead ones.
 * When regurgitated, live hazers have a 40% chance to copy the player Slugcat's colour.
