Snaptooth

Forgive me, but I have rotten luck searching for anything here, so if this has been asked and answered before, forgive me, but I didn't find anything...

I'm trying to build a story arc in AE, and on the final mission, I want to include a boss fight with Snaptooth. However, I can't seem to -find- him. I can't think of any logical or game-breaking reason he'd have been left out, so I'm assuming I'm just not looking in the right place.

If worse comes to worse, I can just -name- a fiend Snaptooth, but I'm not sure the powers are comparable, so if the actual character exists in AE I'd like to find him. Does anybody know if he is available for AE, and under what group? (Didn't see him in Red Caps...)

I heard his agent held out for participation and despite an eleventh-hour negotiation session the parties couldn't come to terms.

Seriously, I have no idea why he isn't in. It's probably an oversight.

Probably because the playerbase gets utterly and openly disgusted with him being the Big Bad for every holiday event other than Halloween.

I'm afraid just the mere mention of Snaptooth makes players cringe at this point. Could be why he wasn't included.


Or.

Could just be an oversight.

I would almost think the cringe-worthy part of his existence would be mostly related to the fact that people feel the overwhelming need to farm his missions, and I mean more than just the five times it takes to get the badge.

Anything can be boring when done to death.

He honestly seems to be the best fit for the story I want to tell. The fact that it centers around Croatoa and the Hallowe'en event is just a spiffy coincidence! Besides, making a Hallowe'en Snaptooth arc sorta completes the set. Though since he does the whole respawn-three-times thing in spring, but not winter, I suppose it's possible he could be even lower-powered in autumn... I can make him a Fiend.

The nice part about this arc is, with the inability to get badge credit, there's no need to fight him more than once.

Not a bad idea at all, and sorta ties into the pagan ideas of the cycle of seasons leading to the rise-and-fall of the influence and power of certain mythological creatures.

Of course, now that I am thinking about it, that doesn't exactly make sense seeing as Snappy's plot in winter is to halt the year in winter - you'd think that Snappy would try that when his own powers were at their height. Eh, maybe Winter Lord is buying him off to help.

Quite possibly why Protean and Reichsman are also non-existent in the MA.

Well when you look at the two missions that he appears in, only in the Winter one is he an EB all the time. In the Valentines one he goes LT -> Boss -> EB.

So if you consider that he is not at the same power level all of the time then taking a Fiend (boss) and naming him Snaptooth is not really much of a stretch as there is already precedent for it.
