It spots you and follows. Stop moving and it warns you once, then charges.

How to survive

  1. Keep moving. Standing still is what sets it off.
  2. When it warns you, you’ve already stood still too long. Move now.
  3. Moving dodges the charge. Break line of sight to lose it for good.
  4. It never shares a station with a Lamp Maw, so if you’ve seen one, the other isn’t there.

Watch for

  • Something following you at a waddle.
  • A warning when you stop.
