Shark Watcher

Shark Watchers are the sixth Cog on the Boardbot Corporate Ladder. They are Tier 6 Cogs ranging from levels 6-12. Shark Watchers are experts in ensuring that no pesky critters begin a hostile takeover in their territory. Those who encounter them end up in the deep end and can't pull themselves out.

Dialogue

Face-Off Taunts

"These waters are not for you." "You've recklessly ventured into treacherous waters, my friend." "I implore you to expedite this encounter without delay." "You can sea yourself out of town, Toon." "Your inevitable demise will surely make a splash." "I possess an exquisitely precise eye that is observing your every move." "You don't possess a bite as strong as I do." "There is always a bigger fish, Toon." "There will be no takeovers to be executed under your jurisdiction, Toon."

Brush-Off Taunts

"I've got much bigger fish to fry, Toon." "Your barking is merely a facade, devoid of any substantial bite."
