Tusk

Tusk, also known as the Master of Snow, is a walrus and the primary antagonist at the Card-Jitsu Party 2013, the true antagonist behind Card-Jitsu Snow, and the leader of the Snow Minions. He is the one who sent Scrap, Sly, and Tank out to defeat Sensei and destroy the Dojo. Tusk seems to have hatred for Sensei and his Ninjas. He used to train in the art of Card-Jitsu with Sensei, his childhood best friend, but Tusk turned on Sensei out of jealousy. Players could battle in his lair after receiving the Snow Gem.

==History==
When Sensei was a young boy who had not yet learned Card-Jitsu, he used to play with Tusk. They sang and had snow ball fights and seemed to be good friends. One day, when Tusk made some lumps of snow clumped together, Sensei made a detailed snow statue of the future dojo. Tusk seemed jealous and a little bit bitter at this.
Then the pair went to train to master the elements together. They dreamed of standing side by side, leading and training an army of ninja penguins. He and Sensei were friends, but their relationship had a competitive side as Tusk could not master the delicate moves of Sensei. One day, they chose to have a battle on a snowy cliff, where the future Snow Dojo would be years later. Tusk instigated it by throwing a snowball at Sensei, who threw Tusk against a wall with snow. Tusk used his power to create an enormous snowball, displaying his true power over snow. He threw it at Sensei, but once it hit him, Sensei sent it back. The force against the wall caused an avalanche, in which Tusk was buried and trapped in a cave in the side of a mountain. Sensei looked for him, but found only a piece of his tusk, departing sadly, and vowed to teach Card-Jitsu to penguins so they could use the elements wisely. Tusk presumed Sensei had left, not caring for him, and turned bitter and cold. He sadly sat buried in the snow, then began to dig himself out.
For years, Tusk plotted, making the snowy cave his lair. He made armor and a torn cape for himself to look intimidating, became the leader of the Snowman army, obsessed with avenging his defeat. He vowed that he would master Card-Jitsu Snow, and that he would get revenge. In May 2013, Tusk sent the 3 Snow Minions, Tank, Scrap and Sly to attack and take revenge on Sensei, but Sensei and the Ninjas withstood the attack, in the game Card-Jitsu Snow. As a final challenge, the ninjas stand up to Tusk alongside Sensei, in Tusk's lair, in a battle that would determine the fate of the island. However, after a strong battle, Sensei and his ninjas defeat Tusk. Tusk laughs evilly, saying that their Sensei had taught them well, but he has more power than all of them. Turning into a shadowy spirit, he disappears, his face showing for a few seconds.
==Battle in Card-Jitsu Snow==
Tusk has a pattern to his attacks when players are battling him in Card-Jitsu Snow. He has three different moves which are:
* Icicle Attack
** Random tiles
** Paired
* Snow Wall
His first attack will be either an Icicle attack (which hits random tiles) or a Snow Wall. His second attack will be a paired Icicle attack. The paired Icicle attack will hit rows 1 and 2. Afterwards, the process repeats; however, the paired Icicle attack slowly descends, hitting rows 2 and 3 on his fourth attack, hitting rows 3 and 4 on his sixth attack, and finally rows 4 and 5 on the eighth. In between each paired Icicle attack, Tusk will randomly launch either an Icicle attack (which hits random tiles) or the Snow Wall.
His attacks can be delayed by a Fire Power Card attack, however.
He does not use the Snow Wall to push all ninjas back to the far left side of the grid very often.
All his attacks deal 10 damage each to ninjas.
==Trivia==
*He is the first walrus character in Club Penguin.
*In Card-Jitsu Snow, he covers up 6 tiles (2x3) of the grid.
*Walruses are not known to live in the Antarctic, so how he got to Club Penguin Island is unknown.
*He is the third major villain known in Club Penguin, the first being Herbert P. Bear and the second being Ultimate Proto-Bot 10000.
*Tusk was mentioned multiple times in the Club Penguin Times during the Star Wars Takeover in the 'Ask Sensei' section.
*Tusk has a different amount of overall health points depending on the number of ninjas that joined the battle against him. The more ninjas, the more health he has. This is presumably done to balance the difficulty should ninjas battle Tusk without a full team of three ninjas.
**According to video footage, at the start of battle, Tusk has 800 HP when battling against a full team, 500 HP when battling a team of two, and 300 HP when battling just one ninja. 
*According to Merry Walrus, he gave "pickled herring juice" to Tusk as a present, which is Tusk's "favorite drink".https://web.archive.org/web/20141225000944if_/http://cdn.clubpenguin.com/play/en/web_service/game_configs/mascot_messages.json"I've delivered a present to TuskHe's a very bitter walrus... I gave him some pickled herring juiceThat may sound gross.. but it's his favorite drink!"
*It was mentioned by Lance Priebe that the Club Penguin Team waited years for Tusk to be introduced.https://twitter.com/lancepriebe/status/373717382142779393
