Abilities:

• Boosting will make the catfish lunge forward and deal 75 damage, using a boost bar.

• Using a charged boost will suck in any nearby food or animals on tier 3 or below, while not using a boost bar. When sucking in animals, the catfish will move backwards when the animal reaches the catfish’s mouth, repeatedly damaging the animal.

• Catfish cannot damage or be damaged by catfish and oarfish.

Strategies: The catfish is the best tier 4 animal for gaining XP quickly. Charge your boost and suck in plankton, and algae, and any smaller animals nearby. However, stay alert as you only have one boost bar. Use it only in emergencies, then eat to fill it back up. Any food you suck in will not fill your boost bars.
