Ultimate Ripjaws

Ultimate Ripjaws is the evolved form of Ripjaws.
==Appearance==
Ultimate Ripjaws is covered in rusty orange armor made of bone, while his skin is a dark mustard yellow, and his fins are now a deep purple. His lure has shrunken, now being attached directly to his head, and his teeth have evolved and fused with one another, now giving him what is effectively an incredibly sharp and powerful beak. His shoulders are asymmetrically colored, while his digits are larger and longer, and the stripes of his loincloth are slightly thicker.
Ultimate Ripjaws wears the Ultimate Simplicitrix symbol on his left pectoral.
==Powers==
*Ripjaws retains his default form's powers, although now largely enhanced.
*Ripjaws' bone armor provides him greater combat prowess than before, able to take and block far more hits, while being specifically designed to block venomous spines from opponents. His jaws are now stronger than before, with his teeth now far better designed for cutting through tough materials.
*Ripjaws' lure is now attached directly to his head, which should make it less effective at attracting prey however its primary function has since shifted. Although typically only glowing as bright as before, it can now flash intensely to stun opponents. This ability is very effective in the dark, less so in bright environments. His lure can also be used as a torch, but doing so risks exhausting the light-producing chemicals and forcing him to wait for them to regenerate. This application typically isn't useful for Ripjaws as he can see in darkness fairly well.
*An addition of his armored hood is that it catches water, keeping him damp for longer out of water.
==Weaknesses==
*His joints and non-armored body parts are just as vulnerable as before.
*His armor increases his size somewhat, combined with its rigid nature, preventing him from squeezing through tight gaps as he would've been able too before. This is particularly problematic in underwater caves.
*Ultimate Ripjaws loses his respirator entirely, although the ability of his hood to hold water can still keep him hydrated out of water for long periods of time.
==Trivia==
*Ultimate Ripjaws was made by Aaron.
*The asymmetrical shoulder colors are a nod to the shoulder cloth in Ripjaws' original series design.
