Under high [[Heat Meter]] levels, the Shrimp Thug will start throwing knives instead of punching. Shrimp Thug is among the most durable enemies in the game against weak attacks, taking five hits from weak attacks to be defeated. However, sometimes weak attacks are able to hit Shrimp Thug multiple times in quick succession, making him seem more fragile than he is. While any weak attack can do this, it is most easily seen with the belly slide, and is likely due to a glitch.

== Variations ==
There are two other variants of this enemy, a blue one and a green one:

The blue Shrimp Thugs throw knives from afar instead of punching. This also became the Heat Meter attack for the normal Shrimp Thug.
The green Shrimp Thug, instead of knives, throws junk in a small arc, which flattens the player. The junk isn't able to be picked up.
