Sea Scoundrel

Sea Scoundrel's battle sprite

The Sea Scoundrel is a marine creature belonging to the race of the same name, who live in the waters surrounding Aplesh Island. The only one encountered never reveals their name, instead being referred to by the name of their race.

## Appearance

The Sea Scoundrel is an underwater creature of a marine blue color. Their head, which is slightly brighter than the rest of their body, has an oval shape, with the bottom half of it being covered by their very wide mouth full of sharp teeth and a huge tongue. Their black eyes spot white pupils that seem to vary in size. There is a single strand of hair on the top of their head, two big fins on each side of their head, and a long, pointy nose. Their belly has a spot of a brighter and more faded shade of blue, with a belly button in the center. They also have short arms and feet, all of them ending in a claw each. Finally, they have a long tail.

## Personality

With their race being given the name of Sea Scoundrels, they pretty much act like a proper scoundrel, creating inconveniences whenever possible. They also tend to act very greedily and snarky, claiming that whatever is on Aplesh Island belongs to their race, since it's their "home turf." When confronted, the like to pretend that they don't speak in english, but that attempt is shot down when they get tricked into having to speak a different language.
They like to use everything they can to make sure they come out on top, even their Urchin Bombs, and if nothing works, they become visibly frustrated, retreating back to their home on the bottom of the ocean.

## Powers and Abilities

As a marine creature, the Sea Scoundrel has complete control over water, being able to bend it and attack their enemies. They're also very resistant and strong, able to use their claws to cause some good damage to their enemies while enduring many blows.

However, their most known ability is the handling of their Urchin Bombs, which they love to use if nothing else is working. These bombs can ignore a person's defense while also poisoning them, which is why they use it a lot.

## Faults and Weaknesses

Despite fire being weak against water, the Sea Scoundrel depends on the latter to keep their body humid and thrive. Therefore, fire can be quite the inconvenience for it, as it dries out the moisture in its body. Besides that, their tendency to panic when a very powerful foe is shown against them can easily be their downfall.

## In-Game

### Crossed Fates

The Sea Scoundrel's only appearance is in Crossed Fates. When the group arrives in Aplesh Island looking for the Golden Charm, the scoundrel quickly swipes it before they can get it. Obviously, the group follows and confronts them, to which the marine creature attempts to trick them into thinking they don't speak english, which is easily shot down by Addison speaking spanish, which they don't understand. After confessing they lied, they still snarkily claims that the Golden Charm belongs to them because it was part of Aplesh Island, their "home turf." After provoking the protagonists, they begin a fight.

Halfway through the fight, they pull out their Urchin Bombs and begin attacking the group with them. However, this proves to not be enough, as they're defeated anyway.

Upon losing, they become frustrated and give up the Golden Charm, then saying they'll return to their home on the bottom of the ocean where the protagonists can't follow, and runs off. They are not seen again after that.

## Trivia

* Sea Scoundrel has been heavily inspired upon the character The Noise from the game Pizza Tower by Tour de Pizza. This is noticeable from their appearance, the sounds they make and even their battle theme.
