Lore
Despite being predators, Stalkers display curious, almost playful behavior around metal objects. This quirk can be exploited by the player to farm Stalker Teeth, which are needed for Aerogel and Enameled Glass.

Survival Tips
- 1To farm Stalker Teeth, drop a piece of Metal Salvage in a Stalker-populated area. The Stalker will pick it up and play with it, shedding 1–2 teeth per session.
- 2Stalkers become non-aggressive if you are not moving or crouching (approaching very slowly). You can often swim near them without triggering an attack.
- 3Stalkers patrol fixed areas in the Kelp Forest near the surface (0–50m). Deeper passages below the kelp canopy are generally Stalker-free.
- 4If you provoke a Stalker, a quick burst with the Seaglide outpaces their pursuit speed easily.
