Loan Shark

Loan Shark is a cat_enemy with 37 HP and 4 movement that uses SharkDash as its primary attack — a high-speed charging dash that covers large distances across the battlefield in a single action. Its name is a pun on the financial term, and its aggressive closing speed lives up to the threat. Found alongside other enemies in its chapter, Loan Shark's ability to cover ground instantly makes it dangerous at any range.

With 37 HP it is durable compared to most standard enemies, requiring sustained focus fire to take down. The SharkDash can potentially knock targets on impact, disrupting formation and positioning in a single move. Its 2 Strength stat suggests its damage output is lower than its threat profile implies — the primary danger is its ability to create chaos in your backline before melee cats can intercept.

Prioritize intercepting Loan Shark before it can reach fragile backline cats. Its high HP demands consistent damage over multiple turns, so DoT effects like Bleed or Poison pair well with burst openers. Knockback or stun abilities can interrupt its dash cycle and buy additional turns to deal damage. If forced to let it reach your line, ensure your frontline is positioned to absorb the impact rather than your ability-users.
