Lantern Star

Overview

The Lantern Star slides along the ocean floor feeding on microorganisms, topped with a lamppost-like protrusion that baffles researchers. When startled it displays three warning lights — green, yellow and red. Once the light turns red you must not approach, and if you are already within range when it turns red, your only hope is to remain completely still. Player accounts add that at red it is impossible to outrun.
