[Suggestion] Bring back Mac Tusk with a Twist


Recommended Posts

One thing I thought would definitely bring to Shipwrecked is the Tusk Family and i'm surprised I haven't heard anything about them yet (Mind you, i've only seen one Shipwrecked stream).

 

Maybe you find a setpiece called "Walrus Warf", similar to a walrus camp, no real use, but during a certain season a Cap'n'Tusk could spawn there with his "Tartan Ark" and patrol his waters with his son and two Sea Hounds.

 

Once you take down his ship, he becomes cowardly and swims away, maybe his ship and him giving separate rewards, his ship dropping something nice, then you can chase Cap'N'Tusk to get a nice hat or sword, or sail.

 

His son will also be there, but in a dingy, something less impressive. Maybe he is the second hand on the main ship and also swims during the coward stage.

 

I just like the idea of there being lots of things that parallel the main game (Crabs are rabbits, Krampus has a tacky shirt, triangles are wormholes, Water Beefalo) and this could fit right in.

Mactusk is a walrus after all, so he should fit fine in the ocean (maybe he can drop blubber too?). I think that his tusk would still allow you to make a walking cane, and maybe his boat has a sail that can't be crafted. The sail would probably be the tam o shanter parallel and make your ship much faster than with any other sail. His son, just like in the default Don't Starve, would maybe still be just as useless, with his only method of attack being to command two sea hounds.

I was just about to make a post on this subject... With the slot machine the only way to get the Walking Cane, Shipwrecked is becoming a 'gambling for walking cane simulator'! McTusk would fit so well in Shipwrecked - with his own island, or the ability to manouvre and attack at sea.

 

EDIT: An image of McTusk & co on surfboards, charging at you when you get close to an island they guard (for reasons to be determined!)
