Riptide (Troy's character)

Riptide is a shape shifter of aquatic animals. He has a wide range of animals at his disposal, all having certain traits to cover up the other's weakness. Riptide can only shift into a form once, before having to wait awhile to shift again.

Power Form: Great White Shark. The great white’s massive size – it weighs 1,500 to 2,400 pounds – and razor sharp teeth make it a formidable hunter. It is also a predator that is difficult to evade, with its preferred hunting method being ambush from below.

Speed form: Sail Fish. Individuals have been clocked at speeds up to 110 km/h (68 mph), which is one of the highest speeds reliably reported in any water organism

Skill form: Octopus. An octopus has no internal or external skeleton , allowing it to squeeze through tight places.Octopuses are among the most intelligent and behaviorally flexible of all invertebrates.

Toxic/stealth form: Olive Sea snake. Sharp teeth, speed and surprise are not the only tools for hunting in the ocean; venom can also kill, and among the most venomous animals on earth is the olive sea snake. It is the most toxic snake in the ocean, with one bite said to be able to deliver enough venom to kill 20 full-grown men.

Electric Shock/stealth form: Torpedo Ray. The torpedo ray looks like a stealth bomber but uses electric shocks as its weapon. It is one of 14 ray species that deliver such shocks and its power comes from a disk in the middle of its body.

Land form: (Emergency only!) Salt water crocodile: Almost all of the hunters listed here have attacked at least one person or have a human fatality to their name, and all are the deadliest ocean hunters to their prey. Whether they hunt alone, in teams, or wait for prey to come to them, the end is the same: a swift and merciless death.
