Changes: Shrapnel

Revision as of 01:54, 4 December 2016

Shrapnel is a robotic fish with red steely eyes, a grey body, and red propelors. He drifts around the tank and drops bombs occasionally.

Involvement

Shrapnel releases a bomb every 18 seconds. He flashes white shortly before releasing a bomb. Bombs are worth $150 in Adventure Mode and 5 Shells in Virtual Tank. Shrapnel gives an average of $8.33/sec, which is the highest of all direct money producing pets (the others are Niko $6.25/sec, Vert $5.83/sec). This makes it quite effective early on, but becomes less so later on when there is more danger of blowing up on a fish.

Story

When talking about Shrapnel, the main question is usually: What are the market forces of supply and demand that result in Shrapnel's bombs being worth $150? Alan Fishspan, chairman of the Federal Shell Reserve answers: "This is a response to the current low rate on 30 year mortgages, combined with the strong performance of the Euro against the dollar."

Trivia

He is named after shrapnel, which are the fragments of an object thrown out after an explosion.
He appears to be a wind-up robot, due to his key as his dorsal fin.
He resembles a robotic ultravore.
When there is one fish left and his bombs hit the last fish, he is one of the pets that causes a game over. The other is Gash if the last guppy (as long as there is no other fish type) is eaten by him.
He is the only pet in Insaniquarium: Revenge of the Fish to not change its appearance.
