The Flying Piranha is a new enemy that spawns during the Hurricane event.

They are normal Piranhas picked up by a Hurricane, and fly through the air at high speeds till they hit a surface or are hit, at which point they return to the typical fish behavior (see Piranha).

Tips

Once stopped they become much easier to kill, providing a way to acquire an early Grappling Hook and Accessories, as well as Coins.
