It hunts for food by simply leaving its wide mouth open while swimming and waiting for unsuspecting food to fall right in. Quagsire doesn’t expend much energy, so it can afford to wait a long time for its food to make its way into its mouth. Quagsire is known to have festivals when the moon is full. This is an annual gathering for Quagsire. They are known to gather at Blue Moon Falls. At these festivals they will take turns shooting their attacks at round objects, much like shooting skeet, to see whose attack is the best.
