The Gold Seahorse is a harmless critter. It is a golden recolor of the ordinary Seahorse, with a 1/400 (0.25%) chance of spawning in place of the ordinary version.

The Gold Seahorse has only 5 health and no defense, and can be damaged by other enemies and players.

The Gold Seahorse can be caught with any Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into animated decorative furniture (Gold Seahorse Cage). Once crafted, the Gold Seahorse cannot be released again, unless the furniture item is de-crafted via Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). The Gold Seahorse itself or the crafted furniture can be sold for 10 GC.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

Trivia

  • Releasing a Gold Seahorse outside of water will cause it to be immobile. However, it will not die from this.
  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Gold Seahorse: "Rarely, critters are found coated entirely in gold! Shopkeepers will pay handsomely for these, or you can show them off in cages!"
