If a Beacon Angler is selected to spawn, there will be a 60+ second minimum cooldown by default before it will spawn and maneuver to where it can lie in wait at the end of its line of lamps. The Lamp trap works similarly to baboon hawks nests as where they're created upon level load. If you wander too close to an angler you will be put into a blinding trance that becomes more difficult to escape the longer you follow it. By default if you come within 3 meters of a submerged angler it will strike.

Due to being nearly blind they hunt by sound whilst roaming, however this also makes them extremely sensitive to overwhelming noise similarly to the vanilla myth about baboon hawks. There's a toggleable amount of time before it loses track of you which is 6 seconds of no noise by default. They can also be overwhelmed while submerged, which causes them to flee. The initiator of the shouting must stay constantly engaged until it fully leaves or they reach safety if the angler becomes overwhelmed, otherwise it will pursue.

At 6pm, there's a toggleable functionality that the Beacon Angler digs out and relocates to the ship or main entrance until the round is over.
