Seals are passive mobs that can be found in Beach and Frozen Ocean biomes.
Behavior[]
Seals are semi-aquatic and can survive in both land and Water.
Seals are lazy and will spend most of their time lying down on any nearby Sand or Ice blocks.
When a Seal is swimming in Water, they are often seen circling harmless aquatic creatures.
If one Seal is attacked, any nearby Seals will panic and flee into nearby Water sources. Polar Bears and Orcas, are currently the main mobs that are capable of attacking them.
Bartering[]
If a Seal is fed 3 cooked or raw fishes (the items include Cod, Salmon, Pufferfish, Tropical Fish, Blobfish, Catfish, or Flying Fish), then they will begin to dive into any nearby Water sources that are wide enough to accommodate their size and search any dirt, gravel, or sand in the Water in hopes of rewarding their feeder.

Breeding[]
Seals can be bred by feeding them Lobster Tails.
Feeding two Seals some Lobster Tails causes them to enter love mode and eventually one of the Seals will spawn a baby Seal.
Trivia[]
- If a Seal is named "He was" or "He was forced to" then it will have a crying face and the background of its name will become white."
- This is a reference to the meme of a seal with the caption, "He was forced to eat cement when he was 6", appearing as if he was crying.
- Before their textures changed, these mobs originally had completely different sounds, their original sounds composed of barking and yapping loudly. This was changed in the new update, possibly due to how loud and annoying the sounds were. Their new sounds are now composed of breathing, and wheezing noises.

| "Seals are mostly aquatic mammals that can be found on the Beaches and Icebergs of the Overworld. These apparently lazy creatures often bask and sleep on any Sand or Ice they can find. When not resting on land, the Seal is an extremely adept swimmer, capable of swimming rings around most other aquatic species, except for their ultimate predator: the Orca. If one Seal is attacked, the entire pod will try and flee into the Water, where they are more agile. Feeding a basking Seal on land three fish will initiate a primitive form of "trade" between a person and the Seal: in exchange for the three fish, the Seal will scrounge the seabed for an item to return. Although this item is often worthless junk like Kelp or Sand, sometimes it can be much rarer items, like Shark Teeth, Scutes or Nautilus Shells. Seals can be bred with Lobster Tails." |
