Coral fans

We were big fans of coral, so we couldn't resist.

Doesn't spawn naturally yet

You can place it on the side of coral!

Drowned

They're called "drowned" for a reason!

Spawn in all oceans! And rivers too!

Zombies will also become drowned after, well, drowning

Drowned can spawn with tridents, allowing you to get them in survival

Their loot isn't final - there's a super secret item coming soon

They can swim but they prefer to walk

Gurgle.

All drowned have a melee attack, and ones with tridents have a ranged attack

Like zombies, drowned don't really like turtles that much

Shipwrecks

Can be found in oceans and beaches

Has 3 different type of loot depending on the ship!

May spawn with some air pockets, that's a known bug. Sorry!
