It could impale towers with its trident, stunning them for a brief period of time. It had splash damage immunity, which meant that splash damage towers could not deal damage to it. It was also immune to being frozen by the [[Freezer]] and [[Frost Blaster]] and was less affected by [[Electroshocker]]'s stun, only being slowed down by 15% instead of stunned and then slowed down by 30%.
