Angler

Template:Item The Angler (アングラー, Angurā^?) is a vehicle that appears in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. It is a modified submarine used by Sonic the Hedgehog and his crew to traverse undersea routes in the game.

Description

The Angler resembles closely the shape of a real-life manta ray. It has a two-seated llipsoid-shaped cockpit in the center, covered by a resilient and aquadynamic glass, and on both sides of its cockpit it has two white egg-shaped ballast tanks. Surrounding both the cockpit and the ballast tanks is a flat, manta ray-shaped frame, minus the tail, and a rear tail plane on each side. On the bow it has two powerful lights for illuminating the dark waters and on the rear it has three engines for jet propulsion.

The Angler was originally created by an ancient tribe from the best of ancient technology. For compactness, only two people can board it. It has since been remodeled with a twin-torpedo gun and boasts five times the specs it originally had. This includes “high-speed navigation“.

In gameplay, the Angler is used to clear enemies out of the way along with bedrock in underwater sections.
