Maneater Explained | NEW Lethal Company Update
Maneaters, also known as Cave Dwellers bug-like Entities in Lethal Company. Maneaters start out like babies, and soon begin crying and need frequent attention to them, otherwise they will grow large and vicious. The Crying Phase of a Maneater is also completely harmless, but it will cry like a baby, making whining sounds. Maneaters entering adult phase will seemingly "grow up", enlarging in size and becoming hostile to players. This conversion takes about three seconds for it to go from the Crying Phase to the Adult Phase. Maneaters in the Adult Phase exhibit significant differences in properties between indoor and outdoor environments. The Maneater's attack method is simple: It lunges at the player, killing them instantly upon making contact. Sprinting, being 0.5 seconds to 1 second. Pause, being 1.5 second to 2 seconds. Continuously rocking a Maneater is one of the best methods of ensuring it doesn't become a large issue, but this requires continuous maintenance and time, and thus, it may not be always feasible. Unless absolutely necessary, a Maneater should not be removed from the facility, as doing so will cause it to enter its Crying Phase and can not be calmed down, even with rocks, making its Adult Phase transformation inevitable if kept outdoors crying.
