Barnacle Harvester

The Barnacle Harvester is an uncommon enemy found in the Infected Depths.

Description
The Barnacle Harvester is an oversized barnacle, with its legs fused together to form a long chitinous structure resembling an arm, which is capable of quickly lashing out at its target and of holding it in place with its powerful grasp, making it easy for other barnacle creatures to easily consume their victim. Their purpose in the barnacle society appear to be capturing non-infected creatures (such as explorers) that wander into the Infected Depths, and harvesting meat (hence its name) that sinks from the upper layers.

Behavior
The Barnacle Harvesters initially look like a normal, albeit highly oversized barnacle in a rested state, but will rapidly lash out with its segmented limbs if the submarine gets too close, grabbing the Submarine and stopping it from moving if its attack connects. They take two torpedo shots to take out.
