Hive Spike Trap

The Hive Spike Trap is a natural trap found in the Larva Hive. It is one of the environmental hazards used to defend that biome and is triggered by movement across it rather than by direct interaction.

When any creature steps on the Hive Spike Trap, it activates and deals 33–39 damage. After firing, it has a 2.5 second cooldown before it can be triggered again. Because of this, it can repeatedly punish careless movement in tight hive corridors, especially when enemies and the player are moving through the same area.

• It is found naturally in the Larva Hive and is not a crafted player trap.
• It affects any creature that steps on it, making it dangerous to both enemies and the player.
• Its short cooldown allows it to activate multiple times in quick succession if targets continue crossing it.
• In practice, it is most noticeable in narrow passages where stepping on the same tile is hard to avoid.
