A '''plaguewhale slab''', also known as simply '''plaguewhale''', is a modified version of the [[elder guardian]] with a purple body and a green eye. It has the same width and length, but half the height as the elder guardian.

==Spawning==
Around 15 plaguewhale slabs spawn upon the generation of a [[colosseum]]. These plaguewhales can despawn under the same conditions as most hostile mobs.

An additional 9 are spawned by the [[mega spud]] when it enters its ninth phase.

==Behavior==
Plaugewhale slabs do not inflict Mining Fatigue. Their laser does not cause any direct damage, but it inflicts the [[Poison]] effect for 1 second constantly while hitting its target, and if fully charged, it adds the [[Wither (effect)|Wither]] effect for 4 seconds. Attacking the plaguewhale causes the player to gain Wither effect for 1 second.

===Stacking===
Sometimes a plaguewhale decides to [[Riding|ride]] another nearby plaguewhale, similar to how baby [[piglin]]s ride baby [[hoglin]]s. Two mobs stacked on top of each other closely resemble a single elder guardian, but their hitbox is still a bit smaller than that of elder guardian. <!-- I was not able to observer more than two stacked on top of each other, which is different from toxifins. -->

==Sounds==
Plaguewhale slabs use the Hostile Creatures sound category for [[Sound#Entity-dependent categories|entity-dependent sound events]].
