Venom Battrap

Overview
Venom Battrap is a stationary enemy encountered in forested encounters. It does not move but periodically spits a mild venom at the player every few turns, dealing repeated small toxin damage that chips away at health if left unchecked. In lore, Venom Battraps primarily prey on Batties but have been observed teaming up with other forest creatures to ambush and swallow unwary peglins.
Because the Venom Battrap is immobile and attacks on a predictable cadence, the most reliable tactic is to eliminate it early with targeted, piercing-style attacks. Piercing and precision shots exploit its lack of movement and allow players to remove the ongoing venom source before sustained damage accumulates. Conserving health by prioritizing these traps often outweighs chasing more mobile threats in the same room.
- Stationary enemy that spits mild venom every few turns; priority target to avoid sustained damage.
- Best targeted with piercing/precision attacks due to immobility; early focused kills preserve health.
- Appears in forest encounters and sometimes in grouped ambushes alongside other creatures, making them a dangerous support hazard if not removed.
- Has undergone balance changes during development, including adjustments to health across versions.
