Melon Shork

"The shark reacted strangely to the watermelon you carried.."

Template:Gootraxian Melon Shorks (Watermelon Shork prior to V3.1R) are green shark Gootraxians with light-green skin with dark-green stripes along their arms, fins and legs, accompanied by two dark red horns. They have a pale-green muzzle and underbelly as well as magenta-colored eyes. Their horns produce a small pink flame that hovers above their heads.

Abilities

Increased Health (Passive)

Melon Shorks have slightly more Health than other Gootraxians, at 115 HP.

Acquirement

Players can obtain Melon Shork by colliding with a Pseudo Shork or Wisp mini shark during a Power Outage or Blackout respectively whilst holding a watermelon slice, or via infection by another Melon Shork Gootraxian.

After a player has walked into a mini-Shork and transformed with a watermelon slice, the Shork will become and remain green. Anyone else who walks into it will become a Melon Shork, regardless of if they have a watermelon slice.

After 30 seconds, if no player has touched the green Shork, it will revert back to a regular gray Shork.

Bestiary Entry

This mutation of the Shorks occurred from an odd reaction to the rind and interior of a watermelon, fully developing properly only in dimly lit areas. These gootrax have evolved their own light source, having an odd flame between their horns to see better in the dark. This flame does not hurt when touched, and gives off a sweet melon like smell.
