Metal Shark Player, also known as Metalshark Player (メタルシャーク・プレイヤー Metarushāku Pureiyā) in Japan, is a hammerhead shark-based Reploid created by Gate to work as a member of a recycling research team.
Characteristics[]
Metal Shark Player was a Reploid designed with the head and dorsal fin of a hammerhead shark. His body was colored primarily blue, although his legs were adorned with yellow "teeth" to resemble the maw of a shark. He also possessed long shoulderpads and coattails that made it look like he was wearing a labcoat. He bore the rhombus-shaped gem of all Gate's creations on his forehead.
Player was an eccentric mind and something of a mad scientist. He didn't even try to pretend he was investigating the Nightmare Phenomenon, instead openly manipulating it for his own experiments. He was very interested in X's DNA and was eager to research it. Conversely, he claimed to have no need for Zero's DNA.
