The Wobbegong Shark (mostly referred as Wobbegong, even in real life) is a tier 9 animal in Deeeep.io. It is based on its real life counterpart, the Gulf Wobbegong, Orectolobus halei. It is one of the animals a Barracuda can evolve into, the others being the Lionfish and the Hammerhead.

Introduction

The wobbegong is the common name given to the 12 species of carpet sharks in the family Orectolobidae. Wobbegongs are bottom-dwelling sharks, spending much of their time resting on the sea floor. Wobbegongs are well camouflaged with a symmetrical pattern of bold markings which resembles a carpet. Because of this striking pattern, wobbegongs and their close relatives are often referred to as carpet sharks.

The wobbegong shark in game keeps many of the features of its real life counterpart. It has a camouflage ability, which will make it look almost invisible when it is stationary. What's more, the shark can emit a powerful suction and swallow its prey whole!

Mechanics

• Barracudas evolve into wobbegong sharks.
  • 42,000 XP is required for a barracuda to evolve into a wobbegong shark.
• Wobbegong sharks can evolve into Whale Sharks, Tiger Sharks or Basking Sharks.
  • 48,000 XP is required for a wobbegong shark to evolve into any of those animals.
• Wobbegong sharks drop meat upon death.
• As a wobbegong shark, friendly fire is turned off for other wobbegong sharks: meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them.

Abilities

Passive Abilities

• Is not slowed down by coral fans or table corals.

Name	Image	Description
Bottom Dweller		The Bottom Dweller Ability is a combination of three passive abilities. Wobbegong sharks gain a 20% speed boost when swimming near the terrain, and will turn translucent when it stays still while facing the seabed. If a wobbegong shark swims near the terrain while holding a charge boost, it will turn almost invisible and generate a fake clownfish as a bait.

Active Abilities

• Like most animals in the game, the Wobbegong Shark has a dash boost. Clicking will cause you to dash forward and deal 25% more damage to animals you hit.

Charge Boost

Name	Image	Charge Time	Description
Suction		0.4 seconds	Charge boost to emit a suction. The suction will suck in nearby food and is capable of swallowing tier 8 animals and below. The swallowed animals will take damage and be spit out after a while. You can't swallow tier 9 animals, but you can still pull them and deal +25% damage to them. Animals in Tier 10 completely ignore your suction. However if they hit you while you are facing them with your suction, you knock them back too. Your suction will cancel after you hit a Tier 9 or Tier 10 with it. You can move while using a charged boost.

  • If a wobbegong shark enters the arctic, it will lose temperature.

Trivia

• Ever wondered what "Wobbegong" means? It is a phrase in the Australian Aboriginal language, meaning "shaggy beard", referring to the growths around the mouth of the shark.
• The "Tasselled" in the name of the Tasselled Wobbegong is not a grammar error.
• This animal is created by user Hexapodo from Reddit.
