Grimreef

Danger: Vorago

Overview

The Grimreef is composed entirely of Vampire Coral arranged into a humanoid form, with a face of dead bleached coral thought to disarm prey. It actively stalks divers, gives away its position with cracking and snapping sounds, and retreats when spotted — only to reposition. It runs slower than an average diver, and it is one of the few monsters confirmed killable: official badge criteria reference killing Grimreefs, and players have brought one down with the diving bell's harpoon gun. It can and will enter the bell.

Notes

  • Look at it to trigger a loud bass pluck — that sound means you've been spotted too.
  • Run away; only fight with the harpoon gun if you have no other choice.
  • Where Vampire Coral grows, the Grimreef hunts.

Other Saturation Diving entities

  • Sywren — A cuttlefish-like entity that traps you with hallucinations if you meet its gaze.
  • Life Line — A mimic diver in a torn test suit that talks to you before it strikes.
  • The Choir — A nine-ton anchor-shaped creature that sings. If you hear singing — run.
  • Crownspine — A blind, armoured predator that hunts by movement. Crouch, stay quiet, stay still.
