The Arapaima is a Hardmode enemy that spawns in pools of water within the Jungle and Underground Jungle biomes. It swims much faster than most fish and deals high damage, but it has no knockback resistance, so high-knockback weapons are useful. The Arapaima can jump from the water and therefore is able to attack players on land close to the water. It will not die naturally outside of the water, despite being a fish.

Trivia

Real-life arapaima are the largest freshwater fish native to South America, sometimes reaching lengths of more than 2 meters (6.5 feet).

The Bestiary entry for the Arapaima: "These enormous fish thrive in the jungle waters near veins of unstable magicks, which make them unusually strong and hostile."
