― Destroyman III

Description

Destroyman III is a miniature Megalodaunt that was added on the Deepwoken April Fools update of 2023. His only purpose is to occasionally say random things to the player. Originally, Destroyman III was obtainable by contracting Coral Fever by taking damage from a Megalodaunt's Coral Spear with a 100% infection rate, by their claw attack with a more moderate infection rate or from being sneezed at by an infected player with a much lower infection rate.

Symptoms of Coral Fever includes:

Destroyman III

Intermittent and contagious sneezing (replaced spitting)

With the original strand of Coral Fever contained, Destroyman III was set to disappear. However, he lives on within the Great Sharko Rumbling monument at Etris Docks. Simply emoting near the monument will grant you a benign version of the Coral Fever, which only includes Destroyman III. If you ever feel the need to be left alone, simply emoting near the monument again will DESTROY Destroyman III. (How dare you)

You could buy an official Sharko Plush made by Makeship here, but they are sadly sold out.

Trivia

The trailer promoting the Destroyman III ~~plushie~~ physical form, was rather controversial, as it used AI-generated backgrounds for several scenes. TheRealPunchee, who made the trailer, apologized, stating he was forced to due to time constraints.
Despite being a physical, biological virus, he refers to being coded.
The tooltip "Flamecharm? Daring today, aren't we?" doesn't change depending on your Attunement. It is a reference to the animated show SpongeBob SquarePants, specifically the episode PICKLES.
The tooltip "TIP: Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer." is a reference to the video game Darkest Dungeon.
The tooltip "TIP: And then BOOM! I get the bell. New Layer 2 bell! New Layer 2 bell." alongside other quotes is a reference to the popular Deepwoken youtuber Agamatsu, along with the tooltip "TIP : I should be rising in the sky" as they both go together to form a sentence said by Agamatsu in one of his streams.
The tooltip "Just wait until I'm freed from the coil of your monitor." isn't a joke, he's coming for you. Start running.
- He's escaped both into the real and overworlds, nowhere is safe.
The tooltip “I’m smart, you’re dumb; I’m big, you're little; I’m right, you're wrong, and there is nothing you can do about it.’ Is a reference to the movie Matilda, based on the Roald Dahl book of the same name, and is said by the one and only; our lord and saviour Danny Devito.
The hint "Chanting 'Raguza Haruza Kanuza Atruza Confuza Emduza Paluza Raguza' at the white tree in Etris unlocks a secret sixth attunement." briefly became outdated due the addition of Ironsing, though it was later remided and corrected to say seventh.
He is based on a sticker in the Discord drawn by Discord user Sycne.
He seems to be a parody of old desktop assistants of the late 1990's, particularly the controversial Bonzi Buddy, a freeware application of the time that was considered to be adware.
The line "Why are you looking at me like that? Cut it out. You're creeping me out." is a direct reference to Flowey from Undertale, when he becomes scared of the player during the Genocide route.
The line "I've been thinking of starting a band recently. Might call it [band name]. What do you think?" has many possible responses with a preset list of names. "Two-Time Tony", "Lore Tornado", "Wheat Error", and "The Woe Of Pockets" are some possible names.
The tooltip "TIP: Birds aren't real." is a reference to the satirical conspiracy theory of the same name, "Birds Aren't Real".
The tooltip "Every copy of Deepwoken is personalized." is Destroyman III riffing on the "Every copy of Super Mario 64 is personalized" craze/conspiracy that somehow landed itself on a Deepwoken iceberg, which was covered by Agamatsu.
Destroyman III plays games and references things from the Super Mario Brothers franchise. Nintendo is yet to find out about this. Please don't tell them.
Destroyman III has the most "lines" of "dialogue" out of any character currently in the game.
It is implied by several tooltips that Destroyman III is in debt, is currently unemployed, commits tax evasion and/or is/will be be unable to pay his taxes and is currently on the run from the IRS (Internal Revenue Sharkos).
The line "MISSION: Determine if it's possible to prompt the sun to explode." is a reference to the video game Outer Wilds.
The line “Please join my fireteam. We're running a raid and need one more.” is a reference to the video game Destiny.
The name "Destroyman III" is a reference to the character Destroyman, a character in the video game series No More Heroes.
The sound played when Destroyman III first appears comes straight from No More Heroes.
The tooltip: "Moe..." is a reference to Travis Touchdown saying the same line in his morning routine in No More Heroes.
The death tooltip "I'm using tilt controls!" is a reference to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, specifically its Online Play mode where there's a preset text command of the same thing. It's typically used to insult other players.
- You're being insulted by Destroyman III. How do you feel about that?
We love Destroyman III. You love Destroyman III.
The "HINT: Getting mugged in Erisia? Just say 'no'! Legally, bandits can't rob you if you refuse." Is a reference to an obscure meme “Getting mugged? Just say no, criminals can't legally steal from you without your consent.”
The tooltip "AD BREAK: I am brought to you by [WEBZONE] ! Buy [PRODUCT] now using code 'DESTROYMAN45' to get 45% off your next purchase of [ITEM] !" is a reference to the influx of YouTubers having sponsored ad segments following this template in their videos, with some of the most well-known, though some due to controversy, being NordVPN, Raid: Shadow Legends, HelloFresh, Skillshare, Brilliant, and many more. The lack of an actual parameter in the Webzone and Product functions implies he has yet to find an actual sponsor.
The line “HINT: If you can't solve a puzzle and have to use the wiki, you are foolish and I will laugh at you. As a friend. Like, in a friendly way.” is a reference to the wiki! The one you’re on right now! (Wow.) This was the first ever public acknowledgment of the wiki prior to it being declared official. (The apparent puzzle seems to be a reference to the library puzzle in New Kyrsa, The Sleeping City and the puzzle in The Birdcage)
The line "I don't feel so good..." is a direct reference to the same line and larger meme of Spider-Man crumbling into dust in Avengers: Infinity War.
The line "You don't have to do anything anymore. Ever. Never ever." is a reference to the intro of the video game Disco Elysium.
The line "A Felinor can have a little bit of salami. As a treat." is a reference to the meme "Cats can have a little salami. As a treat."
The description of the Sharko Plush implies that Destroyman III isn't even barely as strong as a regular Sharko, being that one of the actions that you can do with him is freely punt him with no repercussion. All of his threats are empty. Do not let him intimidate you with the fact he's free of your monitor. No
Developer ragoozer, despite being one of the owners of the game, was actually unable to buy a Sharko Plush before they sold out.
The line "IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS." is a reference to the song Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit.
Destroyman III was ~~turned into a plush~~ granted a physical form through the 'Crowdfunded Murchendice Campaign' played out by the Drowned God Murchendice.
- As seen by the poll in the Deepwoken Discord server, Murchendice let the community vote on who would become the next victim of their schemes to grant Deepwoken characters physical form. The one that won out in the end was Duke Erisia, and since the vote's results came through, has gone entirely missing.
