Terrafin

"It's Feeding Time!"

This is a *Super Smash Skylanders* moveset for **Terrafin**, a dirt shark that hails from Skylands who made his playable debut in the first-ever *Skylanders* game, *Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure*. Terrafin is classified as Skylander #09.

The portrayal of Joey Camen, the voice of Terrafin since *Giants*, is repurposed for the project.

## Moveset

### Character Abilities

* A few moves in Terrafin's moveset, specifically down smash, down special and down taunt, are required to only be performed on the ground because of his burrowing abilities. This means that he cannot perform any burrowing-type move on any type of platform, Thus, if done so, the move will either fail or be replaced with another animation that might hinder its efficiency.

## Animations & Aesthetics

### On-Screen Appearance

* Burrows from the ground with his back slightly turned at the opponent. He turns around and chomps at them, yelling, "Let's go!", before the battle begins.

### Taunts

* **Up Taunt:** Sports a shocked expression with his jaw completely dropped. He looks straight, then a side direction (away from where he faces), and finally the other direction (the direction he's facing). He takes one of his hands and pushes his jaw back up, having him clench his teeth to make a cheeky grin as he chuckles. This is a clear reference to Terrafin's infamous "sarcastic face" in the *"Tall Tales"* trailer for *Giants* but without the gasp.
* **Side Taunt:** Throws out two alternating hooks while saying, "Stickin' and movin'!", before recoiling back and charging forward with a chomp, intimidating his opponent. A reference to his Soul Gem animation from *Giants*.
* **Down Taunt:** Dives into the ground, and shortly jumps out, pumping his fist in the air, exclaiming, "Oh, yeah!"
	+ If Terrafin is on a platform while performing the taunt, instead of burrowing into the ground, he throws out a quick jab and an alternating hook before uppercutting the air, similar to his neutral attack, but slightly faster. He exclaims the same thing regardless.

### Idle Poses

* Throws a couple of rapid-fire body shot punches in front of him.
* Hops twice, then stretches his neck.

### Victory Poses

* **Left:** Jumps up in the air and burrows into the ground. Right after, he jumps out of the ground with a champion's belt in hand, saying, "The defending champion!", before landing, holding the belt up with both hands, and grinning towards the screen.
* **Up:** Skips in place while saying, "Not so tough are you?", before throwing out two left jabs, a right hook, and a left uppercut, all in succession. He poses with the uppercut and looks at the screen with a determined expression.
* **Right:** Performs a *Belly Flop*, then transitions into a front flip, landing on both of his feet. He then says, "I'm the king of the ring!" before throwing out a right body hook, then a spinning low-angle claw swipe towards the screen with the other hand, ending with a pose reminiscent of his official render for *Spyro's Adventure*.
	+ If Kaos was present in the match, there's a chance he will say, "Now, where's my five dollars at?" instead, referencing his well-renowned quote from *"The Beginning"* trailer, and the fact that because of a certain bet, Kaos certainly does owe him five dollars.

## Alternate Costumes

All of Terrafin's costumes will be based on his designs as a core Skylander, which will mostly contain his Series 1 design from *Spyro's Adventure*. Being that Terrafin is perceived as a core Skylander in this project, nothing from his SuperCharger counterpart, Shark Shooter Terrafin, can physically be a part of his design.

 **Grey** | Resembles a great white shark.
