The Goblin (Mitsukurina owstoni), also commonly called the Poglin, is the fifth shark that a player acquires in High Tide.
The goblin shark is a greyish pink shark that has no patterns on it, the tail fins are unique- being a foot like shape, its most distinctive feature, however, is its long "nose".
Overview[]
The Goblin shark is a deep-sea shark, usually only found very deep in the waters, they are known for their protruding jaw, that extends whenever they attack, and uses their Cloak to lower visual range of the divers, however, this doesn't affect trackers, making Tiger shark a great teammate for the goblin shark, as its ability disables trackers.
Playstyle[]
The Goblin sharks usually play with some kind of Guerrilla Warfare. They usually blind people right before attacking, at which right after the visual diminishing is over, the Goblin shark would have already disappeared with one of the divers.
