Marlin

Marlin is a non-player character in Pixadom.
Marlin is described as "a burly bloke and the coolest polar bear this side of the Arctic." He's a professional angler (a.k.a fisherman) located on the docks that lead to Coral Cove. He teaches the player how to participate in his Fishing minigame.
You can talk to him to access the Fishing Leaderboard to see which players have caught the most fish since the start of the month. At the end of every month, he will reward the top player with a rare golden fish trophy.
He was released alongside Pixadom's First Birthday Event.

== Trivia ==
* Marlin's name takes inspiration from the real-life fish of the same name.
* He is distinctly Australian, through his portrayed accent (e.g. "G'day" for Good day) and stereotypical Australian words like saying "mate" and referring to the fish as "absolute beauties". Potentially takes inspiration from animal-loving Aussie legend, Steve Irwin.
* He is the first NPC in Pixadom shown to be holding/using an item in his hand. The item is a reference to Bundaberg Rum, an Australian brand with a Polar Bear mascot.

Opening Dialogue
* G'day, mate! Keen for a bit of fishin' today?
* G'day, wrangler! Lookin' for some fishing gear?
* G'day, sport! After some gear for your next catch?
* G'day, cobber! Lookin' to snag some beauties?
* Oi, mate! Got your eye on some fishin' gear today?
* How's it goin', angler? Need some gear for your next big catch?
* How ya goin', legend? Need any fishin' supplies?
* Hey there, champ! Fancy some fishin' tips?
* What's the buzz, mate? Ready for some reel action?
Player: View Leaderboard
* Here're the top anglers reelin' in the big ones right now...
Player: Marlin's Shop
* No worries mate! Here, take a look at what I got...
Player: Who are you?
* Me? Oh, I just fish all day, enjoy the breeze, and run this little fishing shop. Ain't nothin' like the sound of water and the tug of a fish on the line.
Player: Can I do some fishing too?
* Absolutely, my friend! Grab yourself a rod from my shop, find a comfy spot on the dock, and cast away! Remember, it's all about relaxin' and enjoyin' the moment.
Player: What do I do with the fish?
* You can bring your catches back to me and I'll trade you coins or items for 'em. Each fish you catch gets logged in your profile for all to see, and if you catch the most fish this month, you'll win a special prize! So, keep reelin' 'em in and see what treasures you can earn!
Player: How do I catch better fish?
* To catch better fish, you'll want to start by earnin' yourself some badges. You begin with a level 1 rod, but as you catch more fish, you'll earn badges that let you buy better rods. Each new rod opens up the chance to catch rarer and more impressive species. Just keep fishin' and those badges will come in no time!
Player: That's a lot... where to start?
* No worries mate! Just start by purchasing the level 1 rod and catchin' some fish. Have fun with it, enjoy the process, and the rest will come naturally. Before you know it, you'll be reelin' in some absolute beauties!
Player: How do you actually catch a fish?
* It's a piece of cake! Snag a fish as soon as you feel it bite, line it up with the sweet spot and reel it in three times - do it quick before the timer runs out, and that slippery little sucker is all yours! Just give it a go, you'll figure it out...
Player: You sure do drink a lot...
* Ah, don’t worry about me, mate. My boat’s outta commission, so this tides me over. I do miss the big blue, though. But hey, enough about that, it's a problem for another time - go out there and catch some fish!
