The Riverbeast is a hostile Mob that spawns near rivers and seashores.

Spawning
Zombies in a beach, stone beach or river biome have a 50% chance of turning into a riverbeast.

Flying
When the Riverbeast spawns, it will slowly move upwards a few blocks. After it has taken enough elevation, it will project itself in random directions, alternating between upwards and downwards and giving the illusion of swimming in air.

Attacking players
The Riverbeast will try to attack nearby players. When it detects a player, it will shoot projectiles similar to the ones shot by the Prismarine shards Amethyst staff. It will also project itself closer to the nearest player.
