Shrimps

Shrimps are enemies that can be found in the water.

As this enemy can swim as well as Rico, they will snap at the player underwater. When on land they take out rapid fire shotguns (that only fire one bullet), which turn into a regular Shotgun when dropped. They can also outswim Rico if he is left idle underwater for too long, but if you keep swimming away, their attacks will miss.

They are first encountered in Beaver Power within the Beaver Dam.
