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.
When spotting the player, Shrimp Thug will move towards the player in an attempt to punch them. The punch is capable of breaking through some blocks, such as [[Breakable Block]]s.
