Enemies

Enemies are hostile NPCs encountered in all the Typer Shark games. They differ in variety in Typer Shark and Typer Shark! Deluxe (and Typer Shark Abyss) but all non-boss enemies move from the right side of the screen to the left, and will kill the Diver, subtracting a life from the player, if allowed to reach the left side of the screen completely.

Every enemy in every game, except for bosses, has a character (such as a letter) or series of characters (such as a word) adorning it, which can be typed out on the player's keyboard to defeat the enemy. Some enemies have more health, however, and will generate a new character or series of characters upon being injured. Some, like the White Piranha, do not use normal characters, but numbers, or more unusual characters such as $ and &. Others, like the Ghost Shark, use strings of gibberish instead of words.

Bosses
Unlike other enemies, bosses cannot be harmed by typing on them. They are the only hostile NPCs that lack any characters to type out. Instead, bosses fire projectiles, which themselves have letters or words on them, which can be typed to send them flying back. If the boss is hit by the projectile, they will take damage.

Bosses only appear in two places:
 * In the Adventure Mode of Typer Shark! Deluxe, in a specific level depending on the boss.
 * Every 1000 feet down in the Abyss Mode of Typer Shark! Deluxe and in Typer Shark Abyss.
