### Gender

Varies by individual (befriended version is male)

**Shellshocker** is an electric turtle found in the Eerie Castle. He is a turtle-like creature with his head tucked into his yellow shell, which has two lightning bolt-shaped horns extending from the top. His tail is also shaped like a lightning bolt. He has orange eyes, and his head hasn't been seen by many outsiders.

## History/Lore

Shellshockers were hired by Dark SnoX and King Rainbonius to guard the Eerie Castle, alongside the likes of Thwudd, Concrate, Coggy, and others. Shellshockers always have their heads tucked into their shells, but their glowing orange eyes are all of their head that can be seen... if, that is, they *do* have heads. Rumors have been circulating that they do indeed have heads, and the many different tales tell of different-looking head shapes and features. Are any of them true?

Regular Attack: Electric Shell (Shellshocker tucks in its feet and rolls into the enemy. This attack deals high damage to a single foe and may stun the target, too.)

Special Attack: Terrorvolt (Shellshocker's two electrical horns on its shell begin charging power for a turn, then, the following turn, they unleash an strong blast of electrical energy. This attack deals significant damage to a single foe and has a fairly high chance of stunning the target.)

### Stat Analysis

Shellshocker's best stat is his defense. For his regular attack, he hurls himself at the enemy, dealing high damage to a single target and possibly stunning them (roughly a 19% chance). For his special attack, he prepares a powerful attack from his electric horns, taking a turn to charge up power. The turn after this attack is initially used, he fires the electricity he charged up, dealing significant damage to one foe and having a rather high chance to stun the target, too (33% chance). In short, Shellshocker is a powerful character with great stats, amazing attacks, and amazing gimmicks.

## Relationships

### Dark SnoX and King Rainbonius

Dark SnoX and King Rainbonius hired Shellshockers to protect the Eerie Castle sometime before the bickering began over that one artifact. During the events of Snow and the Clash of Kings, the Shellshockers are confused who to take orders from, so they kinda do what they want.

### Thwudd and Concrate

Thwudds guard the entryway section of the Eerie Castle, while Concrates guard areas close to the final corridor leading to the throne room. Shellshockers are scattered all throughout the Eerie Castle, so they are often working alongside Thwudds and Concrates.

### Coggy

Coggy is found in the Hall of Doors, a place that is, as the name suggests, filled with doors. All but one lead to dead ends, so it's a nightmare to find the right door. Shellshockers dread entering the hall, but some of the higher-ranking Shellshockers work in the area around the final corridor, so they know what door to enter. Coggy was no help in finding the right door, though.
