The Marlin is a tier 10 animal, based on it's real-life counterpart, Istiophoridae

Mechanics[]

  • Dolphins evolve into Marlins
    • 48,000 XP is required for any of those animals to evolve into a marlin
  • Marlins do not evolve into any other animals, as they are Tier 10s
  • Marlins drop meat and skeletons upon death
  • As a marlin, friendly fire is turned off for all tier 1 animals: you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them

Diet[]

This is a complete list of food that marlins can eat.


Name Can be eaten by Image XP Description
Barb All except for the stonefish who spawned it 0 Spawns behind a stonefish using their active ability. Deals damage upon eating it (7% of max life). Poisons anyone who eats it with a base DPS of 10% that lasts 5 seconds (except poison-immune animals). Despawns after 4 seconds.
Bird Poop All except for lamprey and seagull 10 Affected by gravity. Automatically spawns below any seagull every 10 seconds.
Plankton All 25 Spawns in the ocean.
Ice All 50 Spawns in the arctic and deeeep.
Volcano Food All except lamprey and Napoleon Wrasse 125 Affected by gravity, floats upwards. Spawns out of volcanoes, which can be hidden in and are located in the arctic and the deeeep. When eaten as an animal that is not suited to the arctic, it will replenish some of your temperature.
Flappy Duck Ray to tier 10 675 Spawns in a horizontal line just below the height limit.
Meat All 1000 Spawns where an animal dies (tier 2 to tier 10 animals only). The amount of meat that spawns depends on what animal it was.
Anglerfish Bait All Animals except for the Anglerfish who spawned it
0 Spawns infront of an Anglerfish when it is stationary (as its passive ability). No fixed look, resembles the last food the Anglerfish eats. It does nothing too, but the Anglerfish will deal twice as much damage (100x2, therefore 200) to the animal that ate it

Skins[]

Skins are cosmetics used to change an animal's looks, or sometimes, an animal’s biome or size statistics slightly. The table below shows the list of approved skins that can be used for the Marlin.

Realistic skins can be used in every time of the year. They are mostly based on real-life species, or adjectives such as 'Battle-Scarred' or 'Dark'.

Realistic Skins

Bronze Marlin 22112 200 emi_ 15th August, 2023 None If you were to look at marlin skin under a microscope, you would notice that right under the mucous layer is an area of tiny crystal structures punctuated by dark cells known as melanifores. When a marlin is at rest, these dark melanifores are spread out and cover the crystal structures. When a marlin becomes agitated or excited, the melanifores close up, revealing the structures underneath, giving an electric blue, navy blue, or reddish-brown colouration.
