Magma Fish

"The name 'Magma Fish' is purely conjectural, and will be used until an official name is given."

Description
The Magma Fish is an enemy encountered in all three chapters of Pixeljunk Shooter. It is fairly rare and only encountered within magma pools.

Appearance
Magma Fish appear as rocky, egg-shaped figures with multiple bumps and fins on their bodies. They have no clear facial features, and the back ends of their bodies are usually covered in magma.

Behavior
Magma Fish are only visible when the player is within a certain radius of them. Once the player has entered that radius, the Fish will burst out of its magma pool and into the air. It will then spin around in midair and fall back into the magma, all the while trailing some magma behind itself. The Magma Fish will repeat this process until it is killed.

Strategy
Take caution when dealing with Magma Fish. They can pop up out of nowhere very quickly and will instantly kill the player if touched. Move slowly or stop when near large pools of magma above an indestructible surface, as these may contain Magma Fish. Magma Fish cannot be killed while they are submerged, and can only be killed while they or their silhouette are visible. Wait for the Fish to pop up once you are aware of its location, and one shot will be sufficient to kill it.
