monster_barnacle - Point Entity

Barnacles are part of Xen's wildlife. Attached to a ceiling, they patiently wait until someone runs into their tongue. They then lift their prey up to their mouth to swallow it. Clusters of barnacles are often found in wet and dark environments. They are ignored by other monsters.

It takes 10 seconds for a barnacle to kill its prey. Players will be killed in 1 to 3 bites however, depending on how much armor they have. Barnacles can be killed with a single hit from the crowbar.
