giant clam

Giant waveform half-shells of calcium are dusted with moss and algae. They lie at an open, welcoming angle, and the portal muscle at their center palpitates with spatiotemporal regularity.

Perfect

A giant clam is an immobile, docile mollusk common on Lake Hinnom and in the Palladium Reef. Similar to a junk dollar and most roots, a giant clam is incapable of combat, can be moved onto, and does not grant experience points when killed.

The System of Clams

When a creature moves into the same tile as a giant clam, it will be teleported to another giant clam, most likely somewhere in Lake Hinnom or the Palladium Reef. A creature will not be teleported if one party is flying and the other is not, or if the creature is out of phase with the clam. There are achievements which use this feature:

  • Entering 100 giant clams awards the achievement Byevalve. This number is tracked across save files.
  • Entering the giant clam in the Yd Freehold's pond as Mak suggests awards the achievement A Clammy Reception.
