	Shulkers occasionally open their shell for 1–3 seconds.

The projectiles can be destroyed by attacking them or blocking them with a [[Minecraft:shield]]. If the projectile hits an entity, it does {{hp\|4}} damage and inflicts the [[Minecraft:Levitation]] [[Minecraft:status effect]] for 10 seconds.
