MobyDick

The MobyDick
The MobyDick is a boss encountered in Gunship Battle. It can be fought as both a major boss, mid-boss or a regular enemy. It appears as the thirteenth boss.

Characteristics
MobyDick is most likely inspired by the novel Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, especially since the whale in the book is named Moby-dick, something this boss pays homage to. It is designed closely to the submarines, since it can temporarily submerge, and is armed with turrets near its front, and a large railgun near its elevated head.

Behaviour
Mobydicks turrets can snipe the player from a long way, so it is advised to dodge as consistently as possible. It can also submerge, becoming completely intangible temporarily. It then appears in another location. The railgun can also attack, so destroy it before it becomes a nuisance.

Mission Statistics

Reward: $6,800 (Easy) $20,400 (Normal) $34,000 (Hard)

Time limit: No

Difficulties: Easy, Normal and Hard In this mission, the player has to destroy triple battleships and Mobydick. The boss appears almost immediately after the mission starts to hinder the player. To make things even more hard, there are strong enemies that will assist the boss during this mission. Having a Tier 6-7 gunship really helps to take down these marine enemies.

Mobydick is a tanky boss. Itself, along with its railgun, and even its individual missile launchers each have their own health. Gunfire won't be enough to take out this boss, unless the player is brave enough.
