Sharkboi Water

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-07

Overview

sharkboi_water is a Prefab definition for a large, ocean-dwelling monster entity in DST. It is designed for swimming-only movement with specialized components for visual identity, communication (talker), naming (named), and locomotion (locomotor). It uses a dedicated state graph (SGsharkboi_water) and brain (sharkboi_waterbrain). Tags include swimming, wet, monster, and largecreature, indicating its role as a fearsome aquatic predator.

Usage example

This is a Prefab definition, not a reusable component. It is instantiated by the game engine when spawning the sharkboi_water entity. A typical modder would not call this directly, but may reference its structure when creating custom aquatic monster prefabs:

-- Usage via game engine (e.g., via worldgen, spawner, or debug command):
 SpawnPrefabs("sharkboi_water", {x, y, z})
