Chombert the Pirahna: Chombert is, in all fairness, not the quickest fish in the sea. He plods along as the same calm speed, admiring the view and taking his time to find his bearings. Once you've played a few games you'll be running rings round Chombert as you collect all the bonuses and finish the level in record time. Chombert's favourite song is 'Smoke on the water', and collects Blinky trading cards and motorised frog toys.

Chombert's abilities: Chombert always travels at the same speed, except when the level bonus runs out, when his speed doubles. He'll take quite a while after hatching before he starts going for Blinky. He can pop bubbles, but sits patiently next to one before doing so.

Remington Eel: Ol' Rem is more of a match for Blinky. With his coiled body he can swim around quite nippily, and enjoys pushing around the odd bubble to cause some problems. Remington loves an evening out with his fellow eels, his favourite film is 'A View to a Keel', and his favourite song is 'You've lost that loving eeling'.

Remington's abilities: Remington has two speeds, one for when he's close to Blinky (which is the same as Chombert's), and a double speed for when he's further away. He's quicker to start going for Blinky, and can cause problems since he can push bubbles as well as pop them. Hint: when Remington lines up and pauses next to a bubble, a longer pause means he's going to push it rather than pop it. Don't let him survive to when the level bonus runs out, as he's extremely fast (even faster than Haarrfish, see below) and very dangerous!

Normal the Shark: Normal, despite the name, is a super sharp shark. Fast and smart, he patrols the sea with his bubble attack, ready to capture an unsuspecting Blinky and move in for the squish. Normal's nickname is 'Jaws', and spends many an hour in his watery home plotting new bubble pushes and clever ways to get Blinky. He's also quite good at knitting, but obviously tries to keep that to himself.

Normal's tactics: Moving in small, darting movements, Normal doesn't waste much time homing in on Blinky after hatching, and regularly pushes and pops bubbles in the process. However, his most deadly feature is his bubble attack: if he's in line with Blinky he'll pause briefly before firing a bubble. If Blinky gets caught by the bubble, he'll be trapped for a few seconds, and chances are he'll be shark bait quicker than you can say 'super sharp shark'. The one consolation is that Normal's bubble attack isn't foolproof, and he often catches himself and his friends in it!

Haarrfish!: Haarrfish is Blinky's most deadly enemy. She darts at lightning speed around the sea, pushing bubbles without so much as blinking an eye. She's smart, quick, and sure to cause you all sorts of problems on the higher levels. Away from her favourite activity of squishing Blinky, Haarrfish is a world class chef and recently opened her first underwater restaurant, 'Chez Haarr'. Strangely, seafood isn't on the menu, apart from a dish mysteriously called 'Blinky surprise'.

Haarrfish's tactics: if you're anywhere close to Haarrfish, you're in big trouble. Her darting movement is much faster than Blinky, and if you stay near near her you'll be quickly squished and transferred onto her restaurant menu. If this isn't bad enough, she pushes and pops bubbles with hardly a moment's notice, so you're just as likely to get squished by a bubble she pushes as by Haarrfish herself. The moral of the story is keep a long way away and be well prepared for when she comes your way.
