Shrimp Thug[1] is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Shrimp Thug is a shrimp with arms that wears gloves. His whiskers are shaped in a way that makes it look like a mustache. He also has large eyebrows and usually visible teeth. He is usually seen with an angry expression. Elite Shrimp Thugs seem to be cooked shrimp and as such are a darker red.

Behavior

When spotting the player, Shrimp Thug will dash towards them and attempt to punch them. The punch has a wide hitbox, and can even break some blocks. If the player is too far away, he will also charge forwards in an attempt to reach them. Shrimp Thugs can also jump if terrain is blocking their path towards the player.

Elite Shrimp Thug throws knives instead of punching.
