Sandspear (Juvenile)

Health

Maximum hit points. The creature dies and drops its loot when this reaches zero. Players can chip it down with knives, harpoons or vehicle-mounted weapons.

Swim speed

Top movement speed underwater, in metres per second. Used when chasing prey, fleeing threats, or migrating between territory zones. For reference: the Seaglide tops out around 11 m/s.

Stamina

Energy pool for sprint, lunge and attack actions. Drains while sprinting or using abilities, regenerates while idle. Pack hunters with low stamina tire out faster and break off chases sooner.

Food pool

Hunger meter. Drains over time, refills when the creature feeds on prey or plants. When the pool empties, the creature actively hunts, which is why hungry predators are more aggressive.

Bulk

Engine mass / weight class. Drives water displacement (so creatures push you around), the carry-weight footprint when the corpse becomes an item, and AI prey-selection heuristics (bigger bulk means bigger fight).
