Entity Type: Point Entity

Category: Monsters->Foes

Info

Snarks are small, fast and aggressive Xenian creatures that attack anyone in their vicinity. Once released, they will bounce around and bite their enemies for about 15 seconds before self-destructing. The Xen military occasionally uses them to create biological tripmines, but the player can also use them as a 'smart grenade' if they can grab a nest (see weapon_snark).
