Quotes[]
While Homeless:
- "How much more has the world fallen to ruin? Even the Tyrant’s empire..."
- "Thank you for your service, my child, but I am afraid I am without a home now."
During the daytime:
- "My home may have been destroyed and my people lost... But I will assist you to honor their memory."
- "How odd it is, that your people leave the care of those yet to be born to the females. Our males carry the eggs until they hatch."
- "How can I survive on land? Ah, that is a secret. No, actually...I can breathe air like you!"
- "Ah, if only you could have seen the beauty of a kingdom submerged in water. The way the light refracted and shone over our coral homes..."
Only at night:
- "There lurk horrifying creatures beyond the light of our homes. You should take care."
- "My eyes are not well suited to bright lights after so many years of darkness. The peace of the night is welcome."
- "Oh, me? I do not sleep, it is part of my nature."
During a Blood Moon:
- "Since ancient times people have said that deities cause celestial events. Which one then, is the cause for these?"
- "I'm never keen on these nights. They're so violent."
During Hardmode:
- "Your presence is now known to a great many things. It is unlikely that they will be as friendly towards you as I have been."
- "Hm... The veil has fallen, and the world begins to show its true colors. I hope you will trek a righteous path, though even I am not sure what that may be."
If Moon Lord has been defeated:
- "These days, the night sky feels... just a little less oppressive now."
- "Some of these beings I had thought previously to be only legends. To see them in all their glory... what a macabre privilege."
If The Devourer of Gods has been defeated:
- "To see that Tyrant’s serpent free of its shackles. It gave me chills."
When Angler is present:
- "Meet me at [Name of Angler]'s house at night. We're going to throw him to the Trashers."
- "Not sure how [Name of Angler] has not been roasted and digested by now, hanging around the sulphuric seas for so long. Perhaps it has gotten to his head."
When Party Girl is present:
- "[Name of Party Girl] asked if my nose could be used as a vuvuzela. What is a vuvuzela?"
When Drunk Princess is present:
- "Rumor has it [Name of Drunk Princess] drinks to forget her troubled past."
When Brimstone Witch is present:
- "I must admit, the Witch's presence is unsettling to me. But so many years have passed, and she too has suffered much."
Notes[]
- Unlike all other town NPCs, the Sea King cannot drown.
- Since Amidias' Blessing provides unlimited breath in all watery areas, including the Abyss, it makes him very useful for exploration.
Trivia[]
- The Sea King has only one possible name, sharing this trait with Santa Claus, the Drunk Princess, the Archmage, and the Brimstone Witch.
- The Sea King, along with the Archmage, are two characters who appear in the lore.
- Further supporting this claim, many of the Sea King's quotes are references to the lore, such as mentioning his whole kingdom being evaporated by Calamitas.
- The Sea King mentions Lord Yharim when selecting Help after defeating Yharon, who is a prominent figure in the lore.
- The Sea King's mention of an anger presence when selecting Help after defeating either Plantera, The Calamitas Clone or The Derellect prior to Polyphemalus' defeat is a reference to Polyphemalus' theme, the eyes are anger, which was composed by the artist GummyLeeches.
- The dialogue about "males carrying young" is a reference to real-world seahorse biology, playing to the fact that the Sea King's design is derived from said animal.
- The quote about the Angler is a reference to him dropping the Golden Fishing Rod when fed to the Trasher.
- In the mod's source files, the Sea King is referred to as 'SEAHOE'.
