Switch

**Switch** is a member of Seal Team.

## Biography

Switch is the gadgets expert of the team. In the 1980s, he was one of the original HMMF members, alongside Claggart and Dolph until the team got disbanded due to a mistake by Claggart.

After the incident, he lived in isolation in a wrecked ship with the only companions he had being his group of octopi (nicknamed Flicka) and his imaginary friend/echo named Señor Echo. This was, until, Quinn, Claggart, and co. went out to recruit him in their shark-fighting team. During his time of isolation and having a lack of HMMF's armory, he resorted to using highly unstable biotechnology (in his own words) to create convenient gear for the team, with his favorite project being the Octo-Suit.

He currently resides with the rest of the Seal Team in the HMMF Good Boy wreck and is a current member of the Seal Team alongside Quinn, Claggart, Beth, Geraldo, and Jing.

## Personality

Switch has been described as "crazy" and mentally unstable by many of his peers (especially Claggart). He is, however, quite possibly the smartest member on the team, as he is seen creating and showcasing various unique gadgets that the team can use.

Despite his intelligence, he has a noticeable clumsy side. For example, he detonated one of the clam grenades in an open crowd, as well as being the only one to fall straight to the ground when he, Quinn, Jing, and Beth are trying to push the crate's door open before Geraldo opens it himself.

He also has a slight temper, to the point that a simple lever getting stuck can tick him off, causing him to aggressively bite at the lever until it eventually gets unstuck.

## Physical appearance

Switch is a brown and lanky sea lion with a few streaks of light blonde hair, and he has a brown left eye and green right eye. He wears a black hoodie, a pair of headphones, and goggles (representing eyeglasses). He may or may not have a slight tooth gap as well, although it is hard to see during many of the scenes.

## Inventions

Switch invented most of, if not all, the weapons for the members of the Seal Team.

### Octo-Suit

This suit is powered by many small octopi. It can withstand heavy combat and also turn invisible (for only a certain amount of time). It was used to sneak into the sharks' lair without them finding out. When it malfunctions, it creates an aura with bright colors and pixelated images, including meme faces.

### Clam Grenades

These weapons are clams that were tweaked with grenade properties. There are 2 varieties: those who simply explode, and those who clasp onto an enemy, causing them pain.

### Barazooka

A unique combination of a bazooka gun and barracuda fish, creating a gun that shoots out barracudas to attack sharks.

### Shrimp Gun

As the name implies, this is a shrimp that acts like a gun. It may look cute and innocent, but pull the claw, and it causes a huge, dangerous explosion. Switch also says that it's one of the most dangerous inventions in his hideout.

### Eel Bolts

These electric eels are bolt weapons that can be shot out to latch onto enemies (i.e., sharks).
